"We know the pressing question at hand is, 'When will Friendship-West reopen the sanctuary for worship service?' Please know that we have been working diligently behind the scenes on this. While we recently announced a tentative return date, your health and safety are of paramount importance to us. As of right now, the re-entry to the church has been POSTPONED due to significant rising in COVID-19 cases in Dallas. We are continuing to evaluate the situation, hear from God for direction, study the science closely and seek the advice of medical professionals concerning reopening. In the meantime, we look forward to you continuing to join us virtually. Please continue to stay connected with us on our website and social media platforms for more updates."
