Fellow-Colleagues,

1. AFM LEVEL 1 GUIDELINES: GATHERINGS & FUNERALS

Gatherings. The following guidelines, from the National Office Bearers (NOB), are informed by the practical diversity within the AFM as well as medical advice – and are aimed at guiding Pastors and local assemblies in their preparations to be ready for in-person church services where desired and where possible. All AFM guidelines are subject to the Covid-19 regulations as set by Government in the Government Gazette of 10 September 2020 (VOL. 663, NO. 43725). It must also be stressed that the decision to open in-person services remains the prerogative of local Assembly Governing Bodies and that this decision must be based on their readiness to implement preventative measures effectively.

Funerals. Covid-19 has affected the way we grieve, and honour the memories of our members who have passed on. It has also affected the way we conduct funerals, especially when it comes to those who have succumbed due to the pandemic. While we find new ways of dealing with bereavement, we need to bear in mind the highly infectious nature of the coronavirus. It is for this reason that special measures and guidelines need to be adhered to when it comes to meeting bereaved families and funerals. We ask you to keep within the following guidelines which need to be followed prior, during and after funerals:
