At Calvary, we take the health and safety of our church very seriously. In light of the growing concern about the Coronavirus (COVID-19), precautionary measures have been taken at our facilities. At this time, the government is stating crowds of 250 can still safely meet. We will continue to monitor the appropriate news, government, and health agencies' updates.
What we have done:
-We instructed our staff to increase deep cleaning and disinfect all areas of our church, taking extra precautions to clean and sanitize doorknobs, handles, and high-touch, high-traffic areas.
-We have added additional hand sanitizing supplies throughout the facility and sanctuary, readily available to use.
What we are asking:
-We are asking when you attend services, refrain from handshaking, hugs, and high-fives, for your safety and of our saints and visitors.
-We plan to march and give our offering, rather than pass offering baskets.
-Please continue to welcome, smile, and be intentional to make sure every attendee feels welcome.
-We are asking you please avoid church activities if you or your children are running a fever or are showing signs of viral infection.
-We encourage you to follow the recommendations of health professionals. Especially, take extra precautions and avoid contact with the general public if you:
—Are age 65 and older and have a compromised immune system
—If you currently suffer cardiopulmonary disease
—Or if you have a pre-existing health condition
What you can do:
-Wash your hands regularly with hot water and soap for 20 seconds.
-Cover your cough and sneeze in your elbow.
-Do not feel bad for not participating in handshaking.
-For those who are healthy and strong, continue to be faithful.
-Support the church in your giving during this economical time of fear and crisis. If you are unable to attend, please send your financial support to the church, or give through the church’s web page.
-Stay connected to the church through our church web page and social media pages.
Pray for the following:
Divine protection and healing for all people and especially for our church members.
Wisdom for leaders to take appropriate action for our safety and security without causing panic.
Protection for our nation and church from adverse economic and political effects.
Opportunities to share God’s peace, healing and salvation.
Remind yourself and your family:
-Stay Calm, God is in control.
-Speak Peace in your home and everywhere you go.
-Be an instrument of peace and hope.
-Read Psalms 91
For God has not given us a spirit of fear; but of power and love and a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:7)
Be careful, not fearful.
