Announcements: June 7, 2020

Jun 07, 2020   •  

Regular Worship Services and In-Person Church Activities Are Still Suspended Indefinitely. As DC government starts to reopen DC and lift restrictions for gathering, we will implement our own slow-phased return to normal operations taking into account metropolitan guidelines and what will work for everyone’s safety at our church.  The plans for phased reopening of CCC will be publicized on our website, email or WeChat groups.  We will also send out a mail communication once plans are in place.  Online activities will continue.  The Official Board has just established a Re-Opening Church Action Group which hopes to have recommended guidelines for phased reopening presented at the June Board meeting.
