FECA Theme for 2020: “Church Renewal: Growing Young”

1. Novel Coronavirus 2019 Precautionary Guidelines

In order to prevent the outbreak of novel coronavirus 2019 infections in our churches and communities, FECA suggests all member churches create precautionary guidelines and policies for Sunday services and meetings and distribute them through the church bulletin and any other appropriate methods. A sample of such guidelines and related information from the LA County Public Health and Education Department has been e-mailed to all senior pastors. Each member church can modify the precautionary guidelines and policies according to its own unique situation. We hope every brother and sister will cooperate to ensure the safety of the church and the community. May the Lord protect all of us and bless us with good health. Thanks for your cooperation.
