We respect your decisions concerning your church.If you choose to continue services please consider not holding Sunday School in smaller areas, please refrain from serving public meals and avoid having members in close proximity to each other, i.e. church choir. Also, have someone that can ensure that surfaces and door knobs are repeatedly wiped down to prevent potential spread.
