a statement by our pastor on the door to door vax Plan
This is NOT a statement for or against taking the Vax. It is a statement about medical privacy
Recently the President stated that the government would be going “door to door” to collect information about whether or not you had received the COVID 19 Vax. Also, when it was stated that it was none of the government’s business to know, the head of the Health and Human Services Department of the United States, stated that it was, “Absolutely the government’s business to know…” whether or not someone had received the vax.
So, they are about to start sending volunteers, VOLUNTEERS - (get that!) ANYONE who volunteers, to come to your door and ask if you’ve been vaxed or not. Not only are they going to ask for that information , they are going to RECORD your answer, your STATUS, and turn that in on a spreadsheet to the Health Department officials. How do I know that, you ask? Because today, they released the MANUAL on how to do it! A Manual that gives instructions, scripts to read and a spreadsheet form to fill out and turn in. By the way, In this Manual they advise the volunteers to ignore any “No Soliciting” signs, because after all, you aren’t selling anything!
Again this is NOT a statement about whether or not to take the vax. IT IS YOUR AMERICAN, CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO TAKE THE SHOT OR NOT. Do what you please in that regard. This is, however, as LOUD a statement as I can make about the government going door to door to seek our medical information!
Here’s why.
First of all for the reason I just gave. It is our American RIGHT to oversee our own medical and health choices. No government or government institution has the power or right to MAKE you put anything in your body that you don’t want there. (By the way, just in the way of information for you, ALL of the COVID 19 VAX’s are still in the “experimental phase”! That’s right! None of the have received FDA approval!)
Secondly, when the AIDS epidemic first hit in the 1980’s, in order to ‘protect’ the identity and status of homosexuals who might have been infected with the AIDS virus, the government instituted the HIPPA ACT. This act protects your medical history and information. MY WIFE CANNOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT MY MEDICAL INFORMATION UNLESS I SIGN A WITNESSED FORM GIVING HER PERMISSION TO KNOW!! That’s the law of the HIPPA ACT.
Now, they are saying that ANY PERSON ANYWHERE should be able to know your medical information! Not only the Volunteer at your door, but the Grocery clerk, the Airline executive, the Concert promoter….WHOEVER asks, should be allowed to know my private medical information!!
Whatever happed to the HIPPA ACT? My friend, according to this government ACT, you are NOT required, in fact, people are PROHIBITED from taking your medical information unless you specifically want them to know!
The American, Patriotic thing is take the vax or don’t take the vax ACCORDING TO YOUR DESIRE. Tell others about it or don’t tell others about it, ACCORDING TO YOUR DESIRES. That’s what FREEDOM as an AMERICAN is all about.
Since they are giving their people scripts to read to you at your door, let me give you a script that you can read, SHOULD YOU WANT TO.
“Respectfully, According to the 4th Amendment of the Constitution of the United States and the HIPPA Medical Information ACT, you’re asking for private medical information that I don’t give to unauthorized people, and you don’t have the authority to note on a written form that anyone can see, any facts about my private medical information.”

The ministry mindset here at NPBC!
CONNECT - GROW - SERVE
This phrase defines the purpose and function of NPBC.
(These purposes and directives are all the more important as we walk through this current national crisis!)
Our first purpose is to CONNECT: with God and with each other.
Then, we are to GROW:in our knowledge of God and our relationships with each other.
Then finally, we are to SERVE: each other, our Church, and to reach out and serve the world!
This phrase defines our function as well:
We CONNECT with God in worship services.
We GROW in knowledge and relationships in Sunday School.
We SERVE through Ministry Teams and Gospel Outreaches.
PICK A POINT IN THIS SIMPLE PHRASE TO SEE WHERE YOU ARE IN YOUR SPIRITUAL JOURNEY.
THEN COME, PLUG IN TO JESUS WITH US AT NPBC!
