Dear Hebronites,
ADMISSION TO CHURCH PREMISES AND SUSPENSION OF SELECTED CHURCH ACTIVITIES
As the COVID-19 outbreak persists, let us continue to pray for the sick, the quarantined, and those who help them. Let us also pray for those whose livelihoods have been disrupted. But our confidence is in God who is sovereign, good, and wise. Amid fear and anxiety, let us still point to the only One who secures all things.
As of today, a few churches have suspended activities because infected persons were at their premises. In Hebron, we will minimise that risk materialising among us as follows:
Admission to Church Premises
Before coming to church on Sunday, please ask yourself these three questions:
- Have I (or a household member) recently returned from Mainland China, or am I (or a household member) on Leave of Absence or Home Quarantine?
- Was I (or a household member) in close contact with someone infected with COVID-19 or suspected to have COVID-19?
- Do I have flu-like symptoms, i.e. fever, cough, sneezing, runny nose, shortness of breath?
If you answer ‘yes’ to any of these questions, please stay home as you will not be admitted into the church building. If you display any flu-like symptoms while already in the premises, you will be ushered to our sick bay to await conveyance by ambulance to the hospital.
Suspension and Continuation of Church Activities
Additionally, as far as it is legally possible and practically sound, all essential church activities will continue, provided that (a) precautionary measures are taken, and (b) the well-being of vulnerable persons is considered. In particular, the following will continue:
- All Sunday activities, including worship services, children’s ministry, and Christian education programmes
- All Sunday-related activities, including choir rehearsals and worship team rehearsals
- All discipleship activities, including fellowship group meetings (such as KGs, LGs, and CGs) and prayer meetings
Non-essential church activities will be suspended until further notice. These include camps, outings, sports, mission trips, and mass evangelistic outreach projects.
Please tune in to our official website for updates and be encouraging to one and all that you meet.
