A Message from Pastor Carter
God has provided an answer to our prayers regarding this
pandemic. While the overall number of COVID-19 cases are decreasing in
our city, state, and nation, we remain vigilant and we are not
letting our guard down.
We trust in GOD and the medical professionals who feel confident that the
COVID-19 vaccine and follow-up doses provide a high-level of protection against
the COVID-19 virus and variants. I encourage you to check with your
health-care provider for the best advice regarding your individual medical
needs.
Proverbs 11:14 tells us that, “Where there is no counsel, the people
fall; But in the multitude of counselors there is safety”.
Your safety on the Mount Olive campus is our highest priority and we have
followed CDC and City of Austin health guidelines on the best course of action
for our congregation. Out of an abundance of caution and to demonstrate social
responsibility, we have set up temperature monitors in our foyer as you enter
the building. We have closed some rows in our sanctuary for social
distancing and we encourage you to wear masks during worship services.
We will follow all necessary safety precautions on Sunday to help minimize the
spread of Covid-19. For those of you who want to stay connected from the
safety of home, we offer LIVESTEAMING at www.mtolivebcaustin.org, Facebook, and YouTube.
As we journey into 2022, we encourage you to continue the best practices
we have employed during this entire pandemic:
Wear a mask.
Wash your hands often with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap and water aren’t available.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
Stay home when you are sick, experience cold-like symptoms, fever or cough.
Routinely clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
And as you greet one another with a "Great Big Mount Olive Welcome" use a friendly wave or an elbow bump
“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health,
even as thy soul prospereth.” (3 John 1:2 KJV)
Yours in Christ,
Pastor Richard E. Carter
