Important Notice relating to Covid-19 development from CCCB Southside Church

Owing to the rapid transmission of Covid lately which many members expressed concerns, the COVID Team has decided to make changes to how services and Sunday School will operate to safeguard your health and that of our church community.

Church services will continue to run, however the COVID Team has the following requests:

  1. If you have a confirmed or suspected Covid infection or a Close Contact with someone who is a known infected person, please do not attend church in person. Instead, we invite you to attend church online until you have completed your isolation and have fully recovered. (Please follow the current COVID-19 Test & Isolate National Protocol.)
  2. Please notify the church promptly by contacting either the Pastor or one of the Elders in confidence. This is so we can follow up accordingly, e.g., notifying possible close contacts. This also allows us to support you through prayer and care, and organise alternative arrangements to carry out your duties (if needed).
  3. If you are a vulnerable person in terms of age and heath, or you have not been fully vaccinated, we recommend that you attend church online. Protecting yourself against Covid-19 is your own responsibility. We strongly recommend that you receive the boaster shot if available.
  4. The church will continue to provide worship service provided we can gather the ministry team. If the Covid situation lingers or personal movement is restricted under government instruction, the COVID team encourages you to stay home and participate in online church worship instead. In this way, we continue to worship God as one.
  5. Please wear a mask at all times and make efforts to maintain social distancing and minimize socializing indoors if you are attending the church in person. Please exit the church premises immediately after the end of service.
  6. If you are bringing children to church, it will be up to the parents to decide if their children will attend Children’s Sunday School. Please consult the Sunday School coordinator for more information. If your children are not attending, please ensure you are able to look after them yourself or organise for them to be looked after. We recommend that children receive their Covid vaccination as soon as it becomes available.
  7. Choir practices and performance are suspended. Chinese NY performance will be pre-recorded and there will be no on-premise performance.

If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact our pastors or the COVID Team.
