As many are aware, President Donald Trump has asked people to stay in place until April 30 because of the continuing crisis with the coronavirus. The governor and local officials will provide specific guidelines for gatherings. Our pastors and church leaders seek to honor all public officials’ restrictions and prohibitions regarding gatherings until they are lifted. This is a gospel matter—we love our neighbors and won’t risk infecting them. It’s also a matter of law, theological and civil. We are using creative and responsible ways in which to provide inspiration to church members and people in the larger community through alternatives to in-person worship and compassionate care.
