Hello Everyone,
This is just a quick note to clarify what you may have seen in the most recent order from the governor. Public health order 20-35 is limiting personal gatherings to no more than 10 people and/or 2 families. As we continue to follow the news and guidelines coming from the state capitol, we are doing our best to understand and abide by the governor's executive orders.
As we understand it, this most recent order does not place any further restrictions upon the church at this time and allows us to continue holding services at current capacities. Excerpts from the order that pertain to churches are as follows:
Page 14, letter "L" of the order states: "Houses of Worship and Life Rites may operate at the level described in Section II of this Order for which the county in which they operate is approved..."
Referring then to section II of the order, we find the following:
Page 5, Section II, letter "j" states: "Houses of worship and Life Rites may operate at 50% of the posted occupancy limit indoors not to exceed 175 people excluding staff, whichever is less, per room."
We will keep you updated on any changes coming out of the state capitol or our understanding of the order as it pertains to the services and ministry of FEFC.
Thank you all for your cooperation, patience, and grace during these last several months as we have had to find a new normal in navigating life in a pandemic.
Serving Jesus together in these difficult days,
Rob
