To the Believers at Blasdell,
With careful consideration and prayer, we as elders, have thought it best to address you all concerning COVID-19. COVID-19 is rapidly growing and changing the world around us. We firmly believe that the Lord is in control, and we would encourage other believers of like-minded faith to trust the sovereign God of the universe for direction. That being said, we would encourage you all to be in prayer about the virus and the effects it is having on the world around us.
We think it best to only hold basic meetings. That being the Lords Supper on Sunday morning, Sunday School, and Prayer Meeting. All other meetings or activities are canceled until further notice. Please keep an eye on local news and social media outlets that the chapel is involved with for any other cancelations. We will submit to government authority, and recommend that we all follow the guidance given to us by those appointed by our Lord. Please reach out to us with any questions, and know that the situation may change rapidly due to the uncertain effect of the virus on our community.
Lastly, we would encourage all of the believers at Blasdell to stay home if they are not feeling well. In addition, according to the Center for Disease Control if you are over the age of 60 you are at greater risk of contracting COVID-19, and even greater risk of the sickness being fatal if you have Heart Disease, Diabetes, or Lung Disease. Please use wisdom in your decisions!
Love in Christ,
The elders
