Guidelines on Returning to Worship

A new statement from the Missouri Conference was released today regarding returning to worship and vaccination distributions. Churches are encouraged to remain vigilant in their safety precautions related to COVID-19. The current state positivity rate is 12.2% which remains high although it has been cut in half since Bishop Farr’s last guidance on November 18. When returning to in-person worship strictly adhere to health and safety protocols designed to reduce community spread.
