Living Word Fellowship Family, we are braving our way through what has been an incredibly difficult pandemic season, but God is faithful and has blessed us tremendously throughout. As we continue to navigate and find new ways to gather TOGETHER AGAIN, our theme for the year (The Books of Nehemiah and Ezra), we are traversing uncharted waters with regards to masks or no masks. We are entering a trial period and testing this with the second service, our Contemporary Service, where the congregation is contemporary, has less health challenges, and more open to test this in the midst of these challenging times. So starting on July 24, 2022, the second service only will be mask optional, for during the service only. Life App, All Bible Studies, LWFC Kidz Services and Legacy Youth Services will all still be Mask Required. We will have a discussion about this option this Sunday, July 10, 2022, following this Contemporary Service, at 12:30 p.m. in the Legacy Sanctuary. Join us then to discuss as we move forward as we regather God's people in safe and meaningful ways. 

8 A.M. SERVICE WILL CONTINUE TO BE MASK REQUIRED

Starting July 24, 2022
11 A.M. WILL BE MASK OPTIONAL WITH THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES AND RECOMMENDATIONS:

1. Please keep in mind our Golden Rule, Matthew 7:12 (NASB) “In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets." With this Gold Rule in mind we recommend the following:
2. Always remember we love our Living Word Family and the Ultimate Goal is to Love our Family, so if you see someone with a mask on either ask them if they would prefer if you wear a mask sitting next to them or socially distance yourself to give them enough space to feel comfortable.
3. People with symptoms OR exposure to someone who was recently tested positive for COVID should attend virtually and wait the recommended CDC quarantine times before returning to in-person activities.
4. Masks are still required for Life App, All Bible Studies, LWFC Kidz Services and Legacy Youth Services until further notice.

How to Protect Yourself & Others

Get Vaccinated and stay up to date on your COVID-19 vaccines

• COVID-19 vaccines are effective at preventing you from getting sick. COVID-19 vaccines are highly effective at preventing severe illness, hospitalizations, and death.
• Getting vaccinated is the best way to slow the spread of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
• CDC recommends that everyone who is eligible stay up to date on their COVID-19 vaccines, including people with weakened immune systems.

Wear a mask

• Everyone ages 2 years and older should properly wear a well-fitting mask indoors in public in areas where the COVID-19 Community Level is high, regardless of vaccination status.
• Wear a mask with the best fit, protection, and comfort for you.
• If you are in an area with a high COVID-19 Community Level and are ages 2 or older, wear a mask indoors in public.
• If you are sick and need to be around others, or are caring for someone who has COVID-19, wear a mask.
• If you are at increased risk for severe illness, or live with or spend time with someone at higher risk, speak to your healthcare provider about wearing a mask at medium COVID-19 Community Levels.
• People who have a condition or are taking medications that weaken their immune system may not be fully protected even if they are up to date on their COVID-19 vaccines. They should talk to their healthcare providers about what additional precautions may be necessary.
• For more information, see COVID-19 Vaccines for Moderately or Severely Immunocompromised People.

Everyone aged 2 years or older—including passengers and workers— should properly wear a well-fitting mask or respirator in indoor areas of public transportation (such as airplanes, trains, buses, ferries) and transportation hubs (such as airports, stations, and seaports), especially in locations that are crowded or poorly ventilated such as airport jetways.

COVID-19 GUIDELINES

Christians have been gathering to worship Jesus together for thousands of years, and we are so glad to be able to continue that tradition as a church. It is a gift to be able to join together in person, and we want to steward that gift well. We recognize that the guidelines we’ve put in place are not what everyone would prefer, but it’s important that we lay aside our preferences for the good of the body of Christ.
