COVID 19 Service update:

        The NC Synod Council just completed their quarterly meeting using online technology. As we

reviewed our Core Values and Vision Statement, we noted that the last line of that vision is “all

for the sake of the world.” With great sadness yet with firm conviction that for now, love for the

world God so loves looks like an empty church building, we commend these three strong recommendations— even expectations.

• Following the directives of President Trump, Governor Cooper, and the Centers for Disease

Control (CDC), we urge no gatherings of more than 10 people in any NC Synod congregation.

• Following the CDC and the recommendations this week of our ecumenical partners, we recommend

that the “no gatherings of more than 10 people in any NC Synod congregation” policy

be extended until at least May 12.

The Synod Gathering will not be happening in May. We are still committed to gathering as a synod

this year if that is possible. A decision will be made at the Synod Council meeting in late May.

Even so, especially so, we trust in God’s provision and the eventual Easter joy that we will all

celebrate whenever we are able to gather again.

For the sake of the world,

Your North Carolina Synod Council
