It has been two weeks\nsince the Singapore Government raised the DORSCON level from yellow to orange.\nDespite the initial panic, it appears that Singaporeans are settling down to an\nuneasy calm. Last weekend, some churches voluntarily suspended gatherings but\norganised online meetings instead. Many Christians also faced pressure from\nfamily and employers not to attend church services, thinking that churches are\nsources of infection–this is obviously a sweeping statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Hebron, we have begun\nto screen everyone who attends our services and Sunday activities. We take\ntheir body temperature and require them to make declarations about their\nhealth, movement, and whether they\u2019ve had close contact with infected persons.\nWe will continue to do this. Please\nnote that from this Sunday, all persons arriving in Hebron for the 9.00 am\nEnglish service will be required to be screened at the Love Fellowship Hall\nbefore proceeding to the sanctuary.<\/strong> If\nyou do not, you will not be admitted into the sanctuary. The screening for\nthose attending the 9.00 am Mandarin service and 10.30 am English service will\nbe held at the Level 3 lobby. You may proceed directly to Level 3 when you\narrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I urge you to continue to observe proper personal hygiene and exercise social responsibility. We want to make Hebron a safe environment for all to worship and fellowship in. If you are unwell and have even one flu-like symptom, or if you have had close contact with someone who is infected with or suspected to have COVID-19, then please stay home and tune in to the live stream of our 9.00 am services. The links to the services are available on our website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is not an easy time\nfor everybody. But this is a rich opportunity for Christians to exercise faith\nin God, to witness for Christ, and to reach out in love, peace, and hope. We\nmust not miss it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have any prayer\nrequest relating to the COVID-19 outbreak, please share them with me or any of\nour pastors. Some of you have already done so and we are upholding you in\nprayer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” <\/em> May God accomplish his purposes in this crisis for us, for his glory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In Christ, Dear Hebronites, PASTORAL LETTER AND UPDATE ON SCREENING VENUE FOR FEWS It has been two weeks since the Singapore Government raised the DORSCON level from yellow to orange.
