COVID-19 infection rates in California have dropped, though still only a bit lower than three weeks ago.  About 45 percent of the state now has had at least one dose of vaccine. Contra Costa County is two steps below the highest level of pandemic restriction, allowing us to meet indoors with masks at 50 percent capacity, but no singing. Hope Lutheran will continue virtual worship until a planned reopening on Mother's Day with restrictions. Audio recordings will still be uploaded on Saturday night at about 9pm. Please bear with us in these uncertain times and pray for our community becoming fully vaccinated by mid-year. In the meantime, celebrate the warmer weather safely and worship our Lord with us online. The Lord is risen indeed!

Peace be with you.
