Scott Johnson, who chairs Bedford Countys COVID-19 Task Force, and the Rev. Jimmy West, who represents the faith-based community on the task force, say that local churches have a key part to play in the continuing battle against the coronavirus pandemic.
Church is an important part of life and community in this county, said Johnson. That means its an important tool for informing, reminding and encouraging our citizens.
Even though the recent surge in cases has caused some churches to meet electronically, they are still in touch with their members through live-streamed meetings and worship services, newsletters and in other ways.
