We are being told that Governor Mike Dewine has ordered the wearing of masks "when out in public or in a place where they are unable to socially distance."  This mandate is set to take effect beginning Thursday, July 23, 2020.  

As concerns BBF and our meetings, we continue to provide masks for anyone who needs one.  We will also respect the exemptions as outlined in the news releases after the Governor's announcement and will not be violating the private health status of anyone choosing not to wear a mask presumably due to one of the following exemptions:

• Those with a medical condition or a disability or those communicating with someone with a disability
• Those who are actively exercising or playing sports
• Those who are officiants at religious services
• Those who are actively involved in public safety
• Those who are actively eating or drinking

We continue to encourage "social distancing" between families, offer hand sanitizers (and masks, as mentioned above) and pray for God's mercy and protection.  For more information:  https://coronavirus.ohio.gov/wps/portal/gov/covid-19/home
