From 9 February, we will take the attendance of all English service congregants. This will assist in contact tracing by the authorities should the need arise. Persons who decline to have their attendance taken will be denied entry. In light of the foregoing, please plan to arrive for service earlier than usual during this period. We appreciate your cooperation as we seek to ensure the wellbeing of all congregants.

Whose attendance will be taken?

• Congregants of our English services
• Members: Attendance will be taken as per the usual accountability exercise mode.
• Non-members: You and your accompanying guests will be asked for your names and contact numbers. Any unaccompanied child will be asked for the name and contact number of his/her parent.

Question: I am a member. What do I do?

You have three ways to register your attendance: 1) Provide your Membership ID card for scanning; 2) Provide your mobile number; 3) Display a generated barcode of your membership ID number on your phone. See below for instructions on generating this barcode.

Step 1: Go to this website –
Step 2: Under “Parameters for the barcode”, select “Code 128” in the first field.
Step 3: Key in your membership ID number in the second field.
Step 4: Click “Create”.
Step 5: Under “Download now”, click on the PNG icon to save the image on your phone.

Question: I am not a member of your church. Why must I provide my name and contact number?

With your cooperation, we can ensure full compliance with the authorities should an outbreak occur. Please be assured that your details will not be used for other purposes.

Thank you for keeping our church safe and conducive for everyone.

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.

Dear Hebronites,

PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES FOR CONGREGATIONS AND SMALL CHURCH GATHERINGS

In view of the developing Wuhan Coronavirus situation, we wish to advise everyone to exercise caution and adopt the following measures. Please take time to read this before we gather as a 900-strong church this weekend. The measures also apply to gatherings on other days of the week. There are vulnerable individuals among us, such as children, seniors, and those with underlying health conditions. As such, please:

1. Do not attend
   church if you have returned to Singapore from China on 19 Jan or later.
   Instead, wait 14 complete days to be sure you are clear of any symptoms. Please
   apply this 14-day rule as long as you are travelling back from China.
2. Do not attend
   church if you feel unwell (whether or not you have recently returned from
   China). If you do, please be willing to wear a mask or to see a doctor if we
   request it.

We will monitor the situation closely and adjust our response as
required. On Sunday

• Pastoral staff will look out for
  congregants who are unwell.
• Children’s
  ministry: We will take temperatures of all children and practise hand
  washing/sanitisation.
• Hand sanitisers will be made available at key locations in our premises,
  but please bring your
  own surgical mask and sanitiser if required.
• We will provide access
  to sermon materials
  on our website for those who have opted to stay
  home.

Advisory for Frontline Personnel (Ushers, New
Friend Greeters, Teachers)

• If you are
  unwell and rostered to serve on Sunday, inform your leader and excuse yourself
  promptly.
• For this period of heightened caution, greet others with a hand wave
  instead of a handshake.
• If you spot someone
  with flu-like symptoms
  (e.g. cough, sneezing,
  shortness of breath),
  be calm and composed. Notify a
  pastor or pastoral staff member of that person at once.

As the world reacts in fear
and panic, let us entrust this situation to our Almighty God. We hold Psalm 91
close to our hearts:

For he will
deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. He
will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his
faithfulness is a shield and buckler. You will not fear the terror of the
night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in
darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.

Every Christian knows that reading God’s Word regularly, if not daily, is a spiritual habit that ought to be cultivated. Yet, too many of us struggle to keep up on our own. The Bible Reading Programme recognises that many of us really need help and accountability. Come and join the Men’s or Women’s Group and read together with fellow Hebronites on their journey of growing to read God’s Word.
