00:55.080 --> 00:57.590
as we stay socially and
spiritually connected

00:57.590 --> 00:58.860
with each other,

00:58.860 --> 01:02.250
even while we practice
physical distancing.

01:02.250 --> 01:06.050
We must stay socially
and spiritually connected

01:06.050 --> 01:08.770
to counteract the extreme vulnerabilities

01:08.770 --> 01:10.890
that come with isolation.

01:10.890 --> 01:14.700
Vulnerabilities like
suicide, substance abuse,

01:14.700 --> 01:18.270
sexual harassment and
assault, domestic violence,

01:18.270 --> 01:21.060

info about this awesome event.

02:50.180 --> 02:52.320
And finally, if you're like me,

02:52.320 --> 02:54.640
I know you're itching for
us to get back together

02:54.640 --> 02:57.010
in person for worship.

02:57.010 --> 02:59.860
As you probably know, this past week,

02:59.860 --> 03:02.120
the governor of Utah announced our state

03:02.120 --> 03:05.070
would be moving from
orange to yellow status.

03:05.070 --> 03:08.370
I know you, like me, are
grateful our state leaders

03:08.370 --> 03:11.270
and health officials
are seeing a measured,

03:11.270 --> 03:15.060
positive impact of our
efforts to stay safe.

03:15.060 --> 03:18.120
And I wanna encourage you
to keep those efforts up.

03:18.120 --> 03:20.550
These are a testament to our ability

03:20.550 --> 03:22.680
to work together in unity,

03:22.680 --> 03:26.000
and to be a shining light
to the world around us

03:26.000 --> 03:28.840
as we live out the call from Jesus,

03:28.840 --> 03:32.200
to love our neighbor,
as we love ourselves.

03:32.200 --> 03:35.310
I'm thankful that during
these difficult times,

03:35.310 --> 03:39.300
that even though we have
been physically separated,

03:39.300 --> 03:43.520
we have still been able to
be spiritually connected,

03:43.520 --> 03:47.353
and no one has denied
us our right to do that.

03:48.190 --> 03:50.090
So having said all of this,

03:50.090 --> 03:51.820
I want to assure you,

03:51.820 --> 03:54.840
that when we receive the
appropriate guidance,

03:54.840 --> 03:58.490
from our commander, garrison, the army,

03:58.490 --> 03:59.660
and the Chaplain Corps,

03:59.660 --> 04:04.300
to safely open the chapel
for in-person worship,

04:04.300 --> 04:06.680
we will immediately do so,

04:06.680 --> 04:09.840
and you all will be the first to know.

04:09.840 --> 04:13.600
Understand that in-person
worship going forward,

04:13.600 --> 04:17.200
will probably be different than before.

04:17.200 --> 04:21.270
But, we will rejoice to
be able to come together

04:21.270 --> 04:23.800
as a church community.

04:23.800 --> 04:25.310
And I look forward,

04:25.310 --> 04:27.363
to that with great anticipation.

04:28.510 --> 04:30.230
Keep safe friends,

04:30.230 --> 04:33.180
keep connected and may God bless you,

04:33.180 --> 04:36.633
and may God continue to bless
the United States of America.
