Dear Church Family,

Just wanted to update you on the rising concern about the spread of the delta variant of Covid-19. This week alone the number of our community members testing positive has risen dramatically. I am not aware of anyone being infected due to having attended TFBC services, but some TFBC members are sick from other contacts in our area.

Due to the sudden rise in cases, we are once again asking EVERYONE TO WEAR MASKS in all our services indoor and outdoor until this improves.

Please understand this is motivated by love and nothing else.

Romans 13:10 Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore, love is the fulfillment of the law.

Love is often inconvenient and annoying, but we do it.

Dr. McElhaney and Dr. Faloon have explained that this delta variant is much more contagious than the original COVID 19 virus. Without precautions, people with delta can infect many more people before symptoms appear. Wearing a mask can lower the risk of unintentionally making others sick.

I realize that many in our congregation are vaccinated but we must still do all we can to not do harm to those who may not be.  So, let’s all mask up as an act of love and service so we can all meet as safely as possible.

Blessings,
Joe
