The Governor of Illinois has extended the stay-at-home order until May 30th. I've read his order and there was no mention about the number of people allowed to congregate at a time. We will follow the White House guidelines of no more than 10 people with social distancing in place.
I just have a couple of things to pass today:
Bros. Ched and Jolo have embarked on a very worthy project supported by the church. We are making available a very limited number of face shields to be used by our frontliners - those who are now actively a part of treating COVID-19 patients in their units. If you are in need of one and approved for use by your supervisors, please send us a note. You will have to replace the shield (after using them) with a plastic sheet protector you can buy at the store. Use a 3-hole puncher to make holes that will align with the pins in the headband. The headband will have to be disinfected after each use. Please follow your work place's protocols. We still have some "ear savers" left and you may request them anytime.
Part of the Governor's order is the requirement to wear face coverings by May 1st. Sis. AC BZ Oro has made some clothe face mask available, about a dozen (mostly for women) with 2 kid-size face masks. She's making some for men too. Let us know if you need one or you may contact her directly. Thank you sis. AC BZ Oro!
Thank you bro. Ched Cuaresma and bro. Jolo (sis. Tess Agsalud) for thinking about our frontliners. You guys are doing such great deeds. We appreciate so much your initiatives!
Hebrews 13:1-3 tell us:
"Continue in brotherly love. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it. Remember those in prison as if you were bound with them, and those who are mistreated as if you were suffering with them."
