Dear Hebronites,
CHURCH’S RESPONSE TO NEW COVID-19 CASES IN CHOA CHU KANG
We thank God for his mercies in containing the COVID-19 outbreak in Singapore and that to date, after more than a month, there is no community transmission of the infection.
Yesterday (28 Feb), the Ministry of Health reported that two newly-infected persons live at Choa Chu Kang North 5 and Choa Chu Kang Crescent respectively.
While there is no need for alarm, as a church in the Limbang and Yew Tee precincts, we will continue to exercise vigilance so as to minimise the possibility of infection among us. The existing precautionary measures to screen all who attend at our worship services will go on. Attendance-taking to facilitate contact tracing, if required, will continue. We seek your understanding and patience with the ushers who administer these procedures, especially when there is a long queue ahead of you. If you can, please come a little earlier so as to ease the congestion that swells nearer 9.00 am.
Please conduct a self-check before you leave home for church. If you feel even slightly unwell or have mild flu-like symptoms (such as fever, cough, runny nose, sore throat, etc.), please stay at home and participate in the worship service through the live streaming of our Sunday 9.00 am services, available on our official website at hebronbp.org. Our ushers will not admit you to the sanctuary if you exhibit any such symptom.
With the spread of the virus around the world, please stay home if within the past 14 days, you have returned from China (including Hong Kong), South Korea, Italy, Iran, or Japan, or you have had close contact with someone who has returned from these places.
In every crisis, including this viral epidemic, is an opportunity to grow in our discipleship. Let us “rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer” (Romans 12:12). May God deepen us in our walk with him, and broaden us in our witness of him, for his glory.
In Christ,
Rev Wong Shin Hoe
Senior Pastor
Hebron Bible-Presbyterian Church
