A Note from the Pandemic Team
Dear Family and Friends,
We were notified The morning of Tuesday, November 24, 2020 that a member of our church was tested positive for COVID-19. All people that were considered close contacts have been notified directly. If you did not receive a contact tracing communication within 24 hours pertaining to the above-mentioned positive case, you were not considered a close contact.
in light of the previous information, We will be suspending all church gatherings for two weeks but continuing to stream our services on Sunday morning. Due to the two-week closure and the fact that we only have one Wednesday night scheduled for the year, we will be suspending our Wednesday night services until January. The pandemic team will be meeting (via Zoom) on December 2nd as we prepare for Sunday morning gatherings to resume on December 13th.
Our staff, leaders, members and attenders have been diligent in their efforts of keeping socially distant, wearing facial coverings and temperature checks. Additional cleaning measures will be taken in the church facility. If you have any concerns, please contact the church office or one of the pandemic team members.
The Pandemic Team,
Scott Baker, Mike Beshear, Rhonda Beshear, Matt Browning, David Evans and Larry Simmons
Springfield Baptist Church
