MESSAGE FROM THE PASTOR
In-Person & Virtual Worship
. . .with the support of the Synod Executive Committee, I offer the following counsel to the people, leaders, and communities of the Indiana-Kentucky Synod.
If you have not been vaccinated and are able to be vaccinated, please get those shots in the arm as soon as possible. If you have friends or family members who have not been vaccinated, please encourage them to do so and do whatever you can to help them do it. Despite what some are trying to make of it, vaccination is not a political issue. It is a matter of human health and the common good. If you are concerned that getting vaccinated is somehow a violation of your personal rights or freedom, consider the counsel of scripture:
For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery...For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for self-indulgence, but through love become slaves to one another. For the whole law is summed up in a single commandment, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” [Galatians 5:1, 13-14]
We strongly recommend that current CDC guidelines be followed in all in-person gatherings of the body of Christ, including worship...
Beloved of God, together and in the power of the Holy Spirit we will find our way through the twists and turns, ups and downs, forward movements and disappointing roundabouts of this coronavirus wilderness. Even at this late leg of the journey, God still promises nourishing and sustaining water in the wilderness, rivers in the desert. This sustenance comes to us most often through one another and our neighbors. “Therefore, since it is by God’s mercy that we are engaged in this ministry, we do not lose heart.” [1 Corinthians 4:1].
Peace be with you,
Bishop Bill Gafkjen
