Church Advisory (14 Feb)

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:

1. 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?
2. Was I (or a household member) in close contact
   with someone infected with COVID-19 or suspected to have COVID-19?
3. 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:

1. All Sunday activities, including worship services,
   children’s ministry, and Christian education programmes
2. All Sunday-related activities, including choir
   rehearsals and worship team rehearsals
3. 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.
