Following the suspension of religious and social gathering in Lagos and Ogun state by both governments to curb the spread of coronavirus, the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has directed it parishes in both states to hold services in various house fellowship centers.
The church’s Assistant General Overseer (AGO) in charge of Administration and Personnel, Funsho Odesola said in an internal memo that the church is amending its worship schedules as a precautionary step towards managing the spread of coronavirus.
“Parishes that have an average attendance of above 50 members are directed to make use of their House Fellowship Centres to run simultaneous services with the main church,” Odesola said.
Odesola said RCCG churches in both states that have an average attendance of 50 members or less can hold their service without any changes “under the strict directive that worshippers won’t exceed 50 people per service.”
“Kindly be informed that this arrangement shall be in operation for the next few weeks, based on the position of the government.”
