Holiday Guidelines

 

CDC releases guidelines for preventing COVID-19 spread during holidays - New York Post Regardless of vaccination status, the CDC advises holding virtual holiday soirees in which revelers celebrate with family and friends via video chat. Holiday merry-makers are encouraged to throw a “virtual dance party and collaborate with friends and family on a playlist,” per the guidelines. With regards to presents, the CDC suggests that people take gifts and food to “family, friends and neighbors in a way that does not involve contact with others, such as leaving them at the door.” Of course, sometimes brick-and-mortar shindigs are inevitable. In this event, hosts should hold the festivities outdoors and make sure that guests stand 6 feet apart. If gathering indoors, revelers should ensure there is plenty of fresh air by opening windows and doors and even positioning a fan in one of the open windows to blow the air out. Prayer:

- Almighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace … we entrust ourselves and the people of this earth into Your powerful care.  Would you neutralize and destroy this Covid virus and the fear and trauma that have attended it.  We stand in authority in the the position of prayer against this poison and bind and rebuke it and command it to cease and desist in Jesus name!   - " 'And these signs will follow those who believe:  In My name they will cast out demons; . . . and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.'"  (Mark 16:17a, 18)
