Good Morning, We may get to reopen the churches if we can meet the requirements. Everyone must wear a mask, service can only be 2 hours or less, chairs must be 2 meters apart, Worship leaders have to be 4 meters apart, but Speaker and translator have to be 10 meters apart (?!). We also have to keep a record of everyone attending and their temperature upon entering the church. Chairs and microphones have to be cleaned and sanitized after every use; they would like us to assign seats so that the person uses the same chair every time he/she comes. Children under 12 are not allowed. We haven't decided what we are going to do yet. They had a Pastor's meeting from churches in the area and they are going to make a counter proposal. Under these rulings we can't open; for one thing, as small as our church is the speaker and the translator would have to be in 2 different rooms. God is in control and we will see how things work out and keep you posted and please keep us in p
