Faith congregations and communities are eager to reconvene after months of remotely gathering.

Yet, as states start to reopen, how can faith leaders best care for their diverse communities while still gathering in the safest manner possible?

We want to help answer some of these important questions!

That's why we have invited top experts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to review the most up-to-date information available regarding what communities need to know about COVID-19, available safety and prevention protocols, and helpful guidance on reopening worship facilities.

Join us on tomorrow, May 28, at 1 p.m. ET, to learn more!
