California pastor, who defied advice and held a Mother's Day singing service, tests positive for COVID-19
A pastor in California has been hospitalized with pneumonia resulting from coronavirus, after holding a Mother's Day Church service with singing despite officials specifically advising him not to due to the spread of respiratory droplets.
Â
Redwood Valley Assembly of God Church pastor Jack McMilin has tested positive for Coronavirus and was hospitalized on Saturday.
Â
On May 10, McMilin held a Mother's Day service at Redwood Valley Assembly of God church, despite specific orders not to.
Â
Â
Then, on May 11, he shared a Facebook post of a woman holding a placard that reads: "Why can we go to Walmart but not Church!??"
Â
McMilin captioned the photo: "We need to start asking this more often and with greater volume."
Â
Â
The pastor's grandson, Jason Bright, announced McMilin's diagnosis on Facebook. He left a video message in a Facebook group where churchgoers showed oppositions to lockdowns and his wife Sharon also posted on Facebook.Â
Â
Sharon told members: "I was going post something in place of pastor sermon today but I’ve been on phone with so many people and health department that I didn’t get it done. Just remember God is a big and mighty God and he’s got us covered, remember Pastor Jack in the hospital with pneumonia from the Covid 19 virus. Thank you for all the prayers!"
