The PEC strongly encourages suspending worship services and large gatherings Mar. 15-29.

We all continue to watch and to pray for those around the world who are being impacted by the spread of COVID-19. We pray for those infected, the families of those who have lost their lives, those providing care and relief, and those making important decisions.

This afternoon NC Governor, Roy Cooper, advised against gatherings of more than 100 people in North Carolina, including conferences, assemblies, sporting events, concerts and worship
service.

The PEC, meeting today, made the decision to strongly encourage all congregations, fellowships and emerging ministries in our Province (NC, VA, SC, GA, FL) to suspend worship services and
other large gatherings beginning this Sunday, March 15, through March 29.

This is not a requirement, but an encouragement made out an abundance of caution, with the health and well-being of our members and the wider community in mind.

We also determined that, should federal, state or local authorities make stronger recommendations or stricter requirements, we will follow them as part of our being good neighbors and citizens.
