Use layers of protection to keep yourself and loved ones safe over the winter holidays: Boosters, tests, masks. If you haven't yet, it's not too late to decide to get vaccinated, get your COVID-19 vaccine today!
Recent CDC data further confirms that COVID-19 vaccines offer much stronger protection from COVID-19 than limited immunity from a previous infection. All people age 5 and older should be vaccinated against COVID-19, even if you have had COVID before! https://t.co/OkUzj9s6f0

Love your neighbor is not a political statement, it’s a biblical one
Welcome the stranger is not a political statement, it’s a biblical one
Feed the hungry is not a political statement, it’s a biblical one
Put away your sword is not a political statement, it’s a biblical one.
You cannot love your neighbor while supporting or accepting systems that crush, exploit, and dehumanize them.
You cannot love your neighbor while accepting less for them and their family than you do for you and your own.
