Our current plan is to begin holding in-person services on Sunday, June 14, with reduced
capacity, distancing guidelines, and other recommendations in place.
The spiritual and physical health of our members and attenders is a priority. We have laid out
guidelines that we believe are necessary to be followed based on the information given to us by
our government and health officials. We will continue to monitor this situation and reevaluate on
a daily basis. These guidelines will be updated and adjusted as needed moving forward.
Thank you for following these guidelines for your safety, as well as the safety of others!
We look forward to being with you in person again soon.
We will continue to provide online services for those who would prefer to pray and worship at
home. Join us online on Sundays at 10:30 AM on Youtube (clf_va) or Facebook (clfva).
Important : On June 14th, screening will begin at 9:30 AM for those attending service.
Dream Team members serving on Sunday morning will begin screening at 8:45 AM to ensure
you are ready to serve before 9:30 AM.
Masks & Face Coverings
In accordance with Virginia’s Executive Order 63, all individuals must wear face masks or face

guidelines include: while participating in a religious ritual; anyone with a health condition that
keeps them from wearing a face covering; children under the age of two; and a person seeking
to communicate with a hearing-impaired person, for which the mouth needs to be visible.
Children over the age of two are strongly encouraged to wear a face covering to the extent
possible.
