In light of a nationwide state of emergency that has been declared due to the worsening situation of the spread of the new coronavirus in Japan, it has been decided that the April Monthly Service be attended only by the Service performers.
We would like to ask the head ministers of directly supervised churches and the heads of dioceses as well as other church head ministers, Yoboku, and followers to refrain from returning to Jiba to attend the April Monthly Service and instead worship from their churches, fellowships, or their houses.
