Weekly Update

June 09 2020

The following questions has been asked of the conference and counsel has been sought:
 
“If a person who has been in contact with someone with COVID or has tested positive for COVID attends church and the pastor knows about it but does not have permission to share the information what should be done?”
 
The pastor, the PPRC, and the trustees should have an advance plan in place so that if a case such as this does occur, the information is shared only with the person(s) in charge of handling the situation. In no case should the name of the exposed or infected person be shared with anyone beyond this small group. That person should be asked to leave the event.
 
It might also be helpful to have the following guidelines posted and/or included in any printed material advising anyone who has any of the following symptoms or conditions to please refrain from attending church activities until they are able to answer NO to all of the questions.
 
QUESTIONNAIRE FOR EACH POTENTIAL WORSHIP ATTENDEE TO ASK EACH SUNDAY
If you (or someone in your household) answer yes to ANY of the questions below, you should watch worship on FACEBOOK or a church website, on that particular Sunday, to avoid potentially infecting other church members.
• Do you have chills and temperature (greater than 100 degrees)?
• Have you taken any fever reducing medicine in the past 4-6 hours?
• Do you have a cough?
• Do you have a sore throat?
• Are you experiencing shortness of breath?
• Are you experiencing any acute digestive symptoms such as diarrhea, loss of appetite or vomiting?
• Are you experiencing a loss of taste or smell?
• Have you been in contact with someone with or under investigation for COVID in the past two (2) weeks?

Clergy:
Please let me know if you have a preference as to which ZOOM clergy call you want to be a part of(10, 1, 3 or 6?) Be reminded our next ZOOM call is June 18^th and that will be the last one until August 6^th which will begin our twice monthly(1^st and 3^rd Thursdays) call schedule….
The question the DS asked you to reflect upon and be ready to share your thoughts on June 18^th is as follows:
               
               What plans have you made or are you making to help your people be better disciples of Jesus Christ when things are not ‘normal’?

 

Thanks!  Cheryl
