SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - With a surge of COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations, California Governor Newsom today issued a new regional stay-at-home order as an "emergency brake" to slow the spread of COVID-19 in the state.
This order goes into effect in regions with less than 15 percent ICU availability. At this time, the El Dorado County does not fall into that group but it could be a matter of days until it does. The county is part of the Greater Sacramento Region which is at 22 percent capacity as of Thursday.
Letter to the Editor: The worse it gets, the more we need each other
Submitted by paula on Fri, 11/20/2020 - 4:16pm
We are a very small congregation; we are following all the guidelines from State, County, City and our governing body Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). Tattoo, hair, and massage parlors are allowed to remain open and deemed as “essential” for Personal Care Services. What about Spiritual Care Services?
When we are at church, we are one in Christ, in prayer, taking authority over the enemy and over the fallen things in this world. There is a supernatural power in the “two or three” gathering together!
