In addition to the guidance offered by the governor’s office, the Session has decided to use the CDC’s Interim Guidance for Communities of Faith as our standard of care as we prepare to reopen. While these guidelines do not have the force of law—nor were they intended to—we believe they do represent the best professional counsel available to us as we seek to help both the members of our congregation and our neighbors in the wider community be safe and feel safe when they gather here for worship and ministry.
