Friday Prayer Reinstated on a Limited Basis

The SIC Board of Trustees has authorized reinstating Friday Prayer on a limited basis with strict adherence to CDC & Spokane Regional Health District safety guidelines, starting October 30, 2020.  

To ensure compliance with the guidelines, the Board has assembled a team of volunteers to manage and control the flow of attendees. Please follow all directions from those volunteers.
