California County lifts restrictions off of churches
Great news was announced for churches in California!
Just in time for Christmas the Los Angeles County Health Department announced they will no longer require COVID restrictions for religious gatherings. The ordinance removal will also include removing limitations on worship services. Attorneys for the Liberty Counsel representing some churches in LA County say the county’s health department issued a revised temporary order Monday December 21st. The order says there will now be no COVID-19 capacity requirements of any kind; social distancing is still required for all houses of worship in LA County. The announcement comes following the US Supreme Court’s decision in favor of places of worship in New York. The court ruled that the Governor’s ban on religious gatherings was not allowed by law. The court also struck down a lower court’s decision in California banning houses of worship from opening citing state coronavirus restrictions. Liberty Counsel Founder and Chairman Matt Staver said of the ruling, “the Supreme Court made it very clear…no pastor, church, or parishioner in America should have to choose between worship and prison.”

This small fruit is mighty when it comes to nutrients. Once known as the Chinese gooseberry the kiwi was used in Ancient times in China. The fruit was used in Ancient China, not only consumed in the normal manner, but for its medicinal properties and to tenderize meats. The fruit was renamed kiwi in modern times in honor of the flightless bird in New Zealand the kiwi. The fruit comes in two colors golden and the more commonly recognized green color. Both variations of the fruit are loaded with nutrients that are beneficial to the human body. Kiwi according to researchers is a great source of Vitamin C, A, K, B6, and E. These nutrients help the body in various ways: vitamin C provides immunity protection. Vitamin A is beneficial to the skin, vision, and respiratory system. Vitamin K assists in bone and heart health. Vitamin B6 is beneficial to the immune system, and Vitamin E is known to help with regulating blood pressure. This fruit is also a source of fiber.
