POSITIVE COVID DIAGNOSIS

Thank you for masking during Sunday worship with such Christian love for one another.

This week we learned that someone who attended church later tested positive for COVID. This person had no symptoms, masked, and maintained physical distance during worship on Sunday. Thankfully, this person is also vaccinated and their current symptoms are mild.

Our shared efforts to stay home when we have symptoms, mask in the building, maintain wider rows in worship and keep physical distance has helped keep South Elkhorn as safe as possible.

We continue to monitor the situation in Fayette and surrounding counties as cases of COVID rise. And we encourage you to get tested and stay at home if you develop any symptoms. You can always join worship online with Facebook, YouTube or the South Elkhorn website.

Live Stream is now on South Elkhorn's Website each week
