In a letter to all Lamar County methodist churches, Bishop Michael McKee has suspended all in-person services through the end of January.
âThe alarming spike in positive Covid-19 diagnoses in Lamar County has severely impacted the ability of healthcare workers to provide care for their community. In-person gatherings, medical experts have warned, have heavily contributed to this influx and will continue to do so if swift action is not taken,â he said in his message. âBecause of this â effective immediately â I am suspending all in-person worship activities at North Texas Conference churches in Lamar County through the end of January. This is a vital and necessary step in our ongoing efforts to do no harm, and we will continue to monitor this situation closely.â
