Church Advisory (8 Feb)

Dear Hebronites,

FURTHER PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES FOR CONGREGATIONS AND SMALL CHURCH GATHERINGS

Thank you for your co-operation and understanding with regards to
the measures that we have taken in response to the current 2019-nCov infection
situation. Your prayer support has also been deeply appreciated. As you may
know, the Government has yesterday raised the DORSCON level from yellow to
orange in the current 2019-nCov infection situation. In the circumstances, I
wish to draw the attention of all members and friends of Hebron who normally
attend one of its English worship services to the following points:

  1. From this Sunday, 9 February,
    attendance will be taken at the door of the
    sanctuary of all congregants attending the relevant service. This will
    assist in contact tracing by the authorities should the need arise. Attendance
    of members will be taken as per the usual accountability exercise mode.
    Non-members will be asked for their names and contact numbers. Any
    unaccompanied child will be asked for the name and contact number of his
    parent. Persons who decline to have their attendance taken will be denied entry.
  2. In the light of the foregoing,
    please plan to arrive for FEWS or SEWS a little earlier than usual during this
    period. Access to all sanctuaries will also be reduced to only one. In
    particular, the two side doors of Jerusalem Sanctuary will be secured to allow
    only for exit and not for entry.
  3. Persons who are visibly unwell will
    be asked to go and seek medical consultation
    at once.

Do continue to take the necessary precautions to safeguard your own
health and the well- being of fellow Hebronites. Stay at home if you have
returned from mainland China within the past 14 days or feel unwell. See the
doctor as necessary. Wear your own surgical mask if you have mild symptoms of
regular flu. Observe personal hygiene by regularly washing your hands with soap.

In every crisis is an opportunity for good. During this time, let us
bear the gospel of hope and peace to all whose paths God allows us to cross.
