Church-related news...and state video

This message is from the Norway Lake Lutheran parish, dated Saturday morning (today):

After consultation with the leadership of East Norway Lake Lutheran Church and First Lutheran Church of Norway Lake, the decision has been made to suspend worship services, educational and all other activities on Sunday March 15 and Wednesday, March 18. This decision follows the recommendations of the Minnesota Department of Health and Human Services.

The leadership recommends that we revisit this decision on a weekly basis. As of now, we will keep the Norway Lake Parish office open during the week. Pastor Wayne will be available for pastoral care and pastoral visits and can be contacted at 320-841-1951.

We encourage you to practice appropriate protocols of frequent hand washing with soap and water, sneezing and coughing into the elbow and not hand, and if you are ill, stay home until you are fully recovered.

Please view our parish website, educational Facebook page and KWLM Covid-19 web site for further information.

Please remember in prayer all who are ill, all medical personnel and others who are making difficult decisions at this trying time.
