Other Announcements:

Out of an abundance of care for the safety and well-being of our brothers and sisters, the Shepherds encourage everyone to wear a mask during the more crowded times of entering and exiting the building. As a convenience, masks will be available at all entry doors. This is a measure that is promoted by the CDC, especially to reduce the spread of the virus by the wearer. This is an expression of thoughtfulness of others more than ourselves.
