FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Media Statement from Bishop Neil C. Ellis on the suspension of MTC In-Person Services
Nassau, The Bahamas, August 5, 2021: Throughout the course of this Covid-19 pandemic, Mount Tabor Church has demonstrated the importance of safeguarding the spiritual, social and physical welfare of our members and followers. Even though we have implemented very effective and stringent in-service safety protocols, we are concerned about the recent national spike in Covid cases being evidenced among the wider communities we serve and live in.
Consequently, after consultation among our Church’s leadership team, the decision was made to suspend the in-person worship service this coming Sunday, August 8, and move to a live streaming and televised format across our Mount Tabor Church Social Media Platforms and JCN Channel 214 at 7:15am. We will revisit this decision on a weekly basis.
As we strike a balance between being spiritual and being sensible, we must be mindful that it is the beloved
community of family members and followers that we must think about in these times. This is the true essence of being our “Brothers Keepers”.
As we continue to pray for our national and spiritual leaders and each other, let us also do all that we can to safeguard our vulnerable family members, friends and neighbors during these challenging times all while remembering that our help ultimately comes from The Lord.
