[UPDATE: We called the General Conference office today and spoke with the online media department. The lady we spoke with concluded that an error was made by the people who manage and update the GC Session website. We were assured that the page will be eventually taken down.]
The page was taken down at 10:20 AM today.
The GC website has Health (Covid) Protocols for the GC Session in Saint Louis. Notice it references the America’s Center Convention Complex.
Here is the Expo FP website which also links to the GC Session 2025 event.
