Dear Hebronites,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ADMISSION TO CHURCH PREMISES AND SUSPENSION OF SELECTED CHURCH ACTIVITIES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the COVID-19 outbreak persists, let us continue to pray\nfor the sick, the quarantined, and those who help them. Let us also pray for\nthose whose livelihoods have been disrupted. But our confidence is in God who\nis sovereign, good, and wise. Amid fear and anxiety, let us still point to the\nonly One who secures all things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of today, a few churches have suspended activities\nbecause infected persons were at their premises. In Hebron, we will minimise\nthat risk materialising among us as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Admission to Church Premises<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before coming to church on Sunday, please ask yourself these\nthree questions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Have I (or a household member) recently returned\nfrom Mainland China, or am I (or a household member) on Leave of Absence or\nHome Quarantine?<\/li>
  2. Was I (or a household member) in close contact\nwith someone infected with COVID-19 or suspected to have COVID-19?<\/li>
  3. Do I have flu-like symptoms, i.e. fever, cough,\nsneezing, runny nose, shortness of breath?<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    If you answer ‘yes’ to any of these questions, please stay\nhome as you will not be admitted into the church building. If you display any\nflu-like symptoms while already in the premises, you will be ushered to our\nsick bay to await conveyance by ambulance to the hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Suspension and Continuation of Church Activities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Additionally, as far as it is legally possible and\npractically sound, all essential church activities will continue, provided that\n(a) precautionary measures are taken, and (b) the well-being of vulnerable\npersons is considered. In particular, the following will continue:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. All Sunday activities, including worship services,\nchildren\u2019s ministry, and Christian education programmes<\/li>
    2. All Sunday-related activities, including choir\nrehearsals and worship team rehearsals<\/li>
    3. All discipleship activities, including\nfellowship group meetings (such as KGs, LGs, and CGs) and prayer meetings<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Non-essential church activities will be suspended until\nfurther notice. These include camps, outings, sports, mission trips, and mass\nevangelistic outreach projects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Please tune in to our official website for updates and be encouraging to one and all that you meet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
