Guide to Christian Funerals During COVID-19:
As a way of providing resources we continue to examine communications about the best practices of congregations in this time of social isolation and pass along the ones we feel are valuable. One such resource is an advisory on funerals shared by the Wisconsin Council of Churches. This is taken from a template by the Massachusetts Council of Churches. It is NOT a binding document, but it offers good common sense practice and presents a possible policy to be established by a local Session. Hopefully, you find this a helpful document. Holy Week blessings to us all. Click here to read more.
