Lancaster COB Cancels March 14 Starlight Tea Concert

Out of concern for the health of church members and friends from the community, the Lancaster Church of the Brethren has cancelled the Saturday, March 14 Starlight Tea—Simple Gifts (Celtic/Folk Duo) event due to the COVID-19 virus pandemic.

Earlier today LCOB also canceled an upcoming training session.

“In light of the rapidly evolving pandemic, planners determined that it would be unwise to host an event that would bring together people from many locations.

“While we do not want to panic,” said Lead Pastor Misty Wintsch, “we do want to be prudent.” “We don’t want to contribute to the spread of a potentially life-threatening virus, especially since many members of our church family are among demographic groups that face the highest risk.”

Regularly scheduled church services and activities will continue as planned unless changing conditions indicate otherwise.

Please contact our church office if you have any questions.
