Letter from Pastor Candy

Dear friends,

While I have been “off” this week, I (like many of you) have been closely watching the news reports coming out of Minneapolis, Washington DC, New York, Los Angeles, and other cities throughout our country — reports of both protests and criminal charges in the wake of George Floyd’s death. We are a nation in crisis, a nation in grief, a nation grappling with the pervasive communal sin of systemic racism.

For my part, I am grateful for opportunities for conversations with colleagues — particularly colleagues of color — regarding experiences and understandings of systemic racism. Their continued honesty, transparency, and accountability has been a blessing to me. This week, my colleagues in the Bethlehem Interfaith Group (BIG) convened to author and publish a faith-based statement in response to what we are experiencing as a nation, and I now share that statement with you.

Be in prayer, friends: for the Floyd family, for our fellow citizens, and for a nation in pain. Be aware: aware of the ways in which we each participate in and perpetuate systems of racism in this society. And be at work: the work of advocacy, of justice, and of peacemaking.

May we know justice, friends, and may we know peace.

Blessings,

Pastor Candy

Masking will remain optional at Wesley Church

In order to help you make an informed decision about your own mitigation practices, Wesley Church will share our county’s updated risk category and the CDC’s corresponding guidelines in each edition of our weekly enews.
We are currently in the “high risk” category. The CDC guidelines for the “high” category are:

   Wear a mask indoors in public

   Stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccines   

   Get tested if you have symptoms

   Additional precautions may be needed for people at high risk for severe illness
