親愛的弟兄姊妹，

在過去的幾週之間，嚴重特殊傳染性肺炎 (COVID-19) 已經快速的擴散。疾病控制中心 (Center for Disease Control) 已宣佈建議取消所有50人及以上的聚會。有鑑於此，我們教會將於本週日3月22日起，調整主日聚會方式，提供線上直播主日聚會視頻。歡迎您週日中午12:30與我們線上聚會，請點擊以下連結收看視頻：天橋教會Facebook

雖然目前教會的人數狀況是允許弟兄姊妹們前來教堂聚會，但是我們必須特別注意，若有以下情況的弟兄姊妹們，我們強烈建議您待在家：

1. 14天內出入境加拿大者
2. 有接觸過14天內出入境加拿大的旅客
3. 有以下症狀者：
   • 喉嚨痛
   • 咳嗽
   • 發燒
   • 肌肉痠痛
   • 嘔吐/腹瀉

教會的主日學本週起停課，直到另行通知。

以上教會決定是基於公民應盡的義務及配合政府的政策，我們並非驚慌於現況，而是選擇保持謹慎。

目前社會充滿恐懼和不確定性，但正是上帝呼招我們的時候。願我們能成為周遭人們的光明與和平的燈。

洪水泛濫之時，耶和華坐著為王；耶和華坐著為王，直到永遠；耶和華必賜力量給他的百姓；耶和華必賜平安的福給他的百姓。(詩篇29:10-11)

願上帝保佑，願和平跟隨你。

Dear Church,

As you know the COVID-19 situation has escalated very quickly in the last past week. The CDC (Center for Disease Control) has recommended that gatherings of 50 people or more should be canceled. As a result, we have decided to limit our services starting this weekend, and we are planning to live stream our services starting Sunday, March 22. You can join us online at 12:30 pm on Sunday by clicking on the following link: Heaven Bridge Church Facebook

Due to the size of our church, we can still allow attendance of live worship. However, extra care must be taken. If you are currently experiencing the following, we strongly encourage you to stay home and join us online:

1. Been traveling out of Canada within the last 14 days
2. In contact with visitor that is from out of Canada within the last 14 days
3. Showing the following symptoms
   • Sore throat
   • Cough
   • Fever
   • Muscle aches
   • Vomiting / Diarrhea

Note that Sunday school will be postponed until further notice.

Please know that this decision is us doing our civic duty as a church and working alongside with our government to slow the spread of this virus. We are not in fear of the situation, but we must be wise in our actions.

Know that this is a time of fear and uncertainty, but this is the exact time that God has called us for. May we be the beacon of light and peace for those around us.

The Lord sits enthroned over the flood; the Lord is enthroned as King forever. The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace. Psalm 29:10-11

God bless, and may peace follow you.
