Church Tells Congregation Not to Talk About Salmonella Outbreak

[tay]

Church leaders at Bethesda United Methodist Church in Parker County, Texas have told members not to talk about Salmonella outbreak linked to a community meal served at the church. At least 30 people were sickened, children were among those who ended up in the emergency room. One person was admitted to the intensive care unit.

“Seems that everyone is on the slow road to recovery, so praise the Lord,” Youth Pastor Spencer Row wrote on the church’s public Facebook group Thursday afternoon. “Unfortunately, the situation that has taken place in our church has grabbed the attention of our local media. At this time, we as church staff, believe it is in the church’s best interest to allow our conference to handle this situation. We have taken the necessary steps to provide assistance internally. We ask that you refrain from posting or sharing any further information about this situation, for the protection of our members and our church as a whole.

“Please continue to pray for everyone, and make known how much love we have for one another! It’s in times like these that the true strength of the church is revealed.”

Church secretary Cheri Evers Wednesday declined to talk about the situation, and other church leaders did not respond to messages Wednesday and Thursday.

In an effort to avoid public misinformation in incidents such as this, the FEMA Incident Command System when employed appoints a Public Infomation Officer to speak to the press. Seems this congregation has adopted a similar approach.
