The ByFaith Response to the Coronavirus
Message From Bishop James E. McKnight, Jr.
Greetings ByFaith Family,
The Church of God by Faith stands in solidarity with those affected by the Coronavirus and their families, as well as the health workers who are valiantly trying to diagnose and treat patients. We offer our prayers for healing and support those organizations both domestic and international, working to provide medical supplies and assistance to address this serious risk to public health.

Simple Steps You Can Take

- Consider placing hand sanitizer near the church entrance for worshippers to use before shaking hands with greeters.
- Provide tissues and garbage cans in Sunday school classrooms.
- Review cleaning procedures in the nursery and toddler room, especially for toys.
- Make tissues available for the use of ushers, greeters and altar workers.
Fear Not
While we take caution and remain aware, let’s also remember the words of our Lord that says, “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10.
For His Service,
Bishop James McKnight, Presiding Bishop
