    Covid virus hits John MacArthur's church in L.A.

    Oh Lord, Uncle Gavin is going to love this. Can't wait to hear MacArthur's response




    Covid virus hits John MacArthur’s church in L.A.-ba8faaf9-3533-4b51-8de5-3a3555f6ef18-jpg


    An evangelical megachurch in Los Angeles that has defied L.A. County public health orders and held indoor worship services for the last several weeks has been struck with an outbreak of the coronavirus, public health officials confirmed Thursday.

    Grace Community Church in Sun Valley has seen three confirmed cases, according to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.

    Public health officials are investigating the outbreak and said they will work closely with the church to help limit transmission of the coronavirus in the church, which has an estimated attendance of 7,000. The county did not provide any further details about whether the cases were confirmed among staff or worshipers. Attorneys for Grace Community Church did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

    Under the county health officer's order, places of worship must report to the county Public Health Department when at least three coronavirus cases are identified among staff or worshipers within a span of 14 days so the agency can determine whether there is an outbreak.

    As if someone said covid wouldn't or couldn't break out in a church? It isn't about that at all. This is about letting us figure it out ourselves.

    We have not attended church since last March due to the virus. My wife and I are in our mid- 60's (me 64 and her 67) so we are considered a high risk group for complications if we contacted Covid-19. So we decided to opt out of live services. Well, three weeks ago, several members and two staffers at the church we attended contacted the virus. This happened while following the virus protocol procedures (wearing masks, 6 feet social distancing, spaced seating, etc).
    If you put God First, you have Him at Last.

    We're both in our 60s and went back as soon as it opened up again. I refuse to live in fear of a virus that has less probability of causing death than getting struck by lightning.

    I'm with you. I refuse to not have church when I often preach on Holy Ghost power. Yet, others want to stay home. At least we have the choice to work that out ourselves in freedom.
