EARNESTLY CONTEND FOR THE FAITH WHICH WAS ONCE DELIVERED UNTO THE SAINTS
Online special meetings were held at the Apostolic Faith Church in Wharton, New Jersey, from Sunday, August 16, through Sunday, August 23, with a limited number of people attending in person.

Wildfires in the states of Washington, Oregon, and California began spreading rapidly in the beginning of September, eventually consuming over four million acres of land. Several of the fires were located in proximity to cities, including where we have Apostolic Faith churches. Thankfully, all of our church families are safe.

One certainty in this global pandemic is that COVID-19 is highly contagious; it only takes one carrier to result in an outbreak. We continue to encourage our pastors to be slow to reopen.
