COVID-19 Update – December 2021

Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski has again declared a state of emergency due to COVID-19. The new state of emergency is due to the extremely contagious nature of the Omicron variant, a rapid increase in COVID-19 cases, and a very limited number of available ICU beds in Baltimore County. Under the new state of emergency, everyone 5 years of age and older must wear face coverings in indoor public spaces including but not limited to retail establishments, recreational establishments, houses of worship, and other locations open to the public. Olszewski said, "By and large, the message is if you can wear a mask and you're indoors, particularly with a large public gathering, it's safer to have one on, and we know it works.” The indoor mask mandate will remain in effect in Baltimore County from 9 a.m. Wednesday, December 29, 2021 to Monday, January 31, 2022.

​In accordance with the county-wide mandate, GUMC members must wear masks at all times when inside our church building. GUMC members will be updated whenever changes to public health requirements occur. Thank you for your help in keeping our members and friends safe and healthy.

Monthly Mission Opportunities

Casserole Sunday:  Our church has committed to provide casseroles once a month for Our Daily Bread, an organization located in Baltimore City that provides meals every day of the year for those in need to help prevent hunger.  If you would like to help out, bring your frozen or fresh casseroles to our church kitchen (place in freezer) the last Sunday of each month, or any Sunday you would like to help. We will see they are delivered along with food from other churches in our community.

Food Sunday:  The second Sunday of every month is Food Sunday, We collect non-perishable food items for delivery to the Community Crisis Center that serves surrounding communities of Glyndon, Reisterstown, and Owings Mills, helping those in need during difficult times. Bring your donated items to our church and place them in labeled totes and baskets located in our lobby as our congregation prays for those receiving these gestures of Christian love and support.
