Affton Christian Church St. Louis had a special announcement for its congregation. The church shared a friendly reminder to keep everyone healthy and safe.

Friendly Reminder for Everyone

Affton Christian Church leaders, through Facebook, asked its congregation to be mindful of the health and safety of others. The church encouraged everyone attending church to consider keeping a safe distance from others and also consider wearing a mask.

This reminder for everyone results from the reported number of families struck with COVID-19 in the recent week.

According to Affton Christian Church St. Louis, there is no evidence that they got COVID-19 from attending the services.

However, this raises the issue of being mindful of everyone's health and the safety of others.

As stated in the announcement, it seems the common factor felt perfectly fine one day. Then, the next day, they started showing symptoms. The church reminded everyone that COVID-19's insidious nature is contagious even when a person does not have symptoms.

Aside from reminding everyone to consider keeping a safe distance and wearing a mask, Affton Christian Church of St. Louis also requested its congregation to stay at home if they feel the least bit achy or their throat feels a little scratchy.

It also asked everyone to stay at home if their nose is a little stuffy, and if they find that, they say to themselves, "It is probably allergies."

Still, Affton Christian Church St. Louis encouraged all to join the services through its online community if they could.

Finally, it requested that all keep each other in their prayers, to stay safe, and be well.
