CORONA VIRUS RESPONSE

TO MASK OR NOT TO MASK?
Following the most recent Michigan Executive Order, EO 2020-147,
the  District is  offering recommendations  regarding the wearing of
facial masks in  public worship 
to guide pastors and congregations
of the Michigan District, LCMS. Read the attached document.

Affirmations and guidance are offered in response to questions
received by our  Michigan District staff and leaders.  Wearing a
face mask is not an issue of doctrine or practice. However,  we
do believe it is an issue of public witness and Christian concern
for our neighbor.


Please note: The document is not intended to direct our Lutheran
Day Schools  and  Early Childhood  Learning  Centers  as  such
ministries  have very  unique concerns  to engage  as the weeks
pass and lead toward the school year's opening sessions.

COVID 19
The  coronavirus  is active in  the state. God created
viruses, and all that He created is good. So,  believe
that God will bring  good out of this situation.   In the
meantime,  let  us  heed  advice  from  public  health
agencies who say,  to prevent catching a virus,  be it
influenza or  corona,  take these precautions.  We do
not know who is carrying the virus, so …
► Wash  hands  with  soap  and  water  often,  for  at
least 20 seconds [The duration of the Lord’s Prayer].
► Cough  and  sneeze  into  your  elbow or shoulder.
► Avoid  touching your face, eyes, nose, and mouth.
► Practice  “social  distancing”  –   keeping  a  6-foot
perimeter away from others. Be vigilant. If you have
symptoms of any kind [Fever, heavy cough,
shortness of breath],
► STAY HOME. 
► Call your  primary doctor  before showing  up at a
health care facility.  At church, refrain from hugging or
shaking hands. Instead,  bump a fist or rub an elbow! 

FOR LENT PICK UP… …
good hygiene habits.
§ If you  use a tissue,  immediately throw  it away and
wash your hands.
§ Keep your distance in public if you are ill or if others
are sick.
§ STAY HOME if you are feeling ill
§ If you  exhibit  these  symptoms  –  coughing, fever,
shortness of breath, contact your doctor.
