Summary of Grace UMC Recent Updates
At this time (2/16), Crow Wing county is at 16.9%, Cass county is at 13.8%.  If you are following along, the numbers change daily, but have not dropped below 10% in months. As the numbers continue to rise and fall, please prayerfully consider how to keep yourself and those around you safe.
 
The steady decrease in the numbers means that we will be easing our COVID restrictions for the building.  Watch the signs of info!
 
Thank you,

Recent Updates from the Conference office re: COVID Numbers
“You will notice the COVID numbers are increasing to an all-time high in Minnesota. We are keeping our phasing in Yellow, mostly because so many folks are vaccinated so the risks are different than they were a year ago. But we do strongly urge, if you are not already, masking indoors and limiting congregational singing until the positivity rate drops below 5%. If the positive case number is over 5% we should follow all of the yellow protocols.”
 
Summary of Grace UMC Recent Updates
At this time (2/10), Crow Wing county is at 24.6%, Cass county is at 20.8%.  If you are following along, the numbers change daily, but have not dropped below 10% in months. As the numbers continue to rise and fall, please prayerfully consider how to keep yourself and those around you safe.
 
We are not currently taking down names that would aid contact tracing.  We are counting on everyone to care for each other.  If you attend worship or a church gathering and test positive shortly after, please let the office know so that we can alert others as needed.  In your daily interactions an N95 mask is now recommended or a cloth and surgical mask combo.
 
Thank you,
Pastor Jen
