The Church Reopening Task Force has made a proposal to reopen our church facilities based on Ontario’s reopening plan and the pandemic situation in Ottawa. The Elder Board has decided that from February 21, our church facilities will reopen, and church activities will be conducted in both physical and online formats where feasible. Each ministry department will determine the specific reopening schedule according to their ministry situation and needs. The following is the reopening schedule for some ministries:
- Starting from March 6: Mandarin ministry will hold in-person (the Youth Room on the second floor) and online worship simultaneously.
- Starting from March 6: Cantonese ministry will hold in-person (Jeffery Sanctuary) and online worship simultaneously.
- Starting from March 13: English ministry will hold in-person (Simpson Sanctuary) and online worship simultaneously.
- Beginning on March 6, ABC Church will hold in-person worship (on the second floor) and online worship simultaneously.
- Children’s Worship will remain at 11:30 a.m. online only on Zoom.
Due to the capacity limitation to maintain distancing, all congregants must fill out the screening form before the meetings. Updated screening forms are posted on the Church websites. The diversion measures, designated restroom arrangements and roadmap for each congregation will be the same as when the church reopened last year. Please refer to the church intranet for details.
