Muffled Joyful Noise

I have problems breathing with a mask on.

Singing praises to Gods is protectedvunder freedom of worship in constitution

To me, it's a matter of conscience regarding breaking the first commandment. "You shall have no other gods before me" The Hebrew word for "gods" in its plural form used here (and context pointing back to Pharaoh in the previous verse) includes rulers and judges. Being "required" to wear a mask to sing praises to God has no biblical foundation. It's based on human reasoning, not God's Word. Proverbs 3:5-6

No masks please.

Prefer not to wear masks at all and was expecting to not have to at this particular sight.

I've already been disappointed locally with how Covid has been handled and the lack of the ability to attend services without ridiculous rules set in place. We specifically chose a feast site that had no mask restrictions to fit the needs of our family. We paid more money to fly our whole family there and now we are being told if we don't worship our God in song with a mask then we have to leave the room!? Even if we have an exemption! I have children with sensory issues. Do they have to leave the room too? This is completely overstepping and I'm asking the church to please reconsider.

Not appropriate to muzzle ourselves while singing praises to God.

Many are attending feast sights based on the requirements either way. As a compromised person, I will chose to protect myself the way I feel fit but I would never ask others to be uncomfortable for my sake. If I felt uncomfortable to be around unmasked people, I would stay home or sit in an area designated for mask wearers.

Masks are Dangerous , they reduce the Oxygen intake, increase to dangerous levels co2. this will stop concentration when studying Gods word. In England we have had 45,000 die ( apparently ) the CDC state that number in over estimated by 94% and only 1.5% who died are healthy 45,000 -94% x 1.5% divided by the duration of cv-19 = 6 healthy people per month. I am exempt from wearing a mask, You are stopping me attending sabbath and holy day services which is un-Godly. This is not a Pandemic, its Media Planned Demic, we are not to follow a worldly government.

At least you will still be able to sing – which in California is something we won’t be able to do until we come out of Tier 4, even with a mask on. Most positive cases these days are asymptomatic, and the masks are to protect the folks who aren’t sick yet. You could look at it as a matter of faith. But then again, it’s just singing, and it’s just common sense. I remember what happened at the Feast in Victoria a few years ago.

Masks are dangerous Doctors state it reduces your oxygen intake. Increase you co2 levels and damage you immune system, and increase cancer risk.

This petition addresses many concerns of the body of Christ in the corporate decision re forced mask wearing during singing of praise. . . I personally also believe, with prayerful reflection, that the issues addressed by this legion and the many other reasons brought forth, especially the lack of a state mandate enforcing such a requirement (whether legal or not) that UCG has utterly failed to justify such a broad requirement and has imposed on the freedoms under the guise of thoughtfulness and respect of “others” (who likely believe the mask is harmful and unnecessary). This church rule - which has no legal authority under federal, state or local law in certain FOT locations - is ILLEGAL and lends itself to comparison to cult behavior. UCG as registered nonprofit must reconsider this rule - and its enforceability - in light of many factors, including legal ones. Very truly yours, Bonnie French, Portland Oregon

We wanted to attend the Feast in New Braunfels partly because of the Texas face mask requirements. Those who want to wear masks are allowed to sit in their particular section. If we wish to fellowship with them we put our masks on.

I don't really care about singing, and quarantine needs to be enforced. People should be asked to leave when they come to services sick. However, masks are not something we want to wear at services.

I understand the desire for us to "watch out for others" by wearing a mask, but my family was excited to come to St. George in part because there was no governmental mask requirement. Could there not be a section of the "non-mask" room for those of us who also want to sing without wearing a mask? I feel very strongly that I should not be offering praises to my Creator with my mouth covered!! Please reconsider your policy decision on this. Thank you.

If nothing else let the people who want to wear masks sit in there own section. Everyone else sit in the other, then everyone's happy.

I agree and support this petition!
