The Lord calls us to love our neighbor as ourselves. We therefore wish to resume public worship with a spirit of Christian caution and care. Why? We are our brother’s keeper! The Supreme Court decision was a change in the political/legal landscape of Wisconsin. Our desire to watch out for each other’s health and well-being remains unchanged. For this reason, Faith will be implementing the following protocols when we re-open for public worship services. We ask that you take the opportunity to review these protocols before you attend worship and do your best to follow them when you come.
