Church Re-Opening Update #16 教會重啟更新

Last week, we shared the announcement from the MBCLA Staff and Re-Opening Core team. In coming weeks, we will answer questions that you may have related to the announcement and clarify what it means for our ministries at the church. Before doing so, we will finish explaining the milestones for re-opening that we introduced on June 26 and have since worked to implement.

The final milestone regards screening procedures for those who attend in-person worship service. These procedures must be defined and prepared.

What is our objective with this milestone?

A dependable screening process is required in order to share an expectation that those worshiping together in-person do not have symptoms associated with COVID-19 and have not been recently exposed. While our reservation system and other preparations contribute to health and safety (e.g. staying within capacity, maintaining physical distancing, etc.), it is also important that we separate those who have or may have COVID-19.

What has the church done or planned in order to meet this milestone?

The church has developed guidelines for welcome and screening, placed informational posters and signs at the entrances, purchased hand sanitizers and contactless thermometers, and set up a reservation system.

When we are able to return to in-person worship, you can expect to be greeted at the entrance. A volunteer will next confirm your reservation and check for a face covering. He or she will offer you one if needed, as well as offer hand sanitizer. Your temperature will be taken and you will indicate your responses to the printed screening questions in order to enter. These questions relate to symptoms (e.g. fever, difficulty breathing, cough, flu-like symptoms, loss of taste or smell, nausea) and exposure (e.g. contact). Then you will be invited to join us inside for worship service!

各位親愛的弟兄姊妹們,上週我們已經跟各位分享了教會教牧同工及教會重啟核心小組對於教會重啟時間表的決定。在未來的幾週,我們將會就會友們對此決定所提問題作答,並說明此決定對教會事工的任何影響。您或許記得,從六月二十七日開始我們就與弟兄姊妹們逐項分享有關重啟的七項關鍵程序。在本週的更新裏,我們願意與您報告教會重啟關鍵程序的最後一項。

此關鍵程序與實體敬拜參與者的初步測試有關。我們已釐定此程序之細節,準備工作業已完成。

初步測試關鍵程序的目標
為了達到參與實體敬拜者都不具新冠病毒症狀,也未曾在近期內與病毒感染者有過接觸的理想,教會必須有一份可靠的初步測試程序。我們的預約系統及其他準備工作促進實體崇拜者參與環境的公共衛生(如:維持在安全參與人數限度之內,保持身體安全距離等),同時,將那些患有,或可能罹患新冠病毒者分辨出來也同等重要。

教會到目前為止在這項關鍵程序的準備進度
教會業已完成迎賓及初步測試指南,教會進口處已放置相關資訊海報及標誌,購置洗手液及無接觸體溫計,並完成崇拜預約系統。
當我們能夠重返教會,參與實體崇拜時,將會有招待在教會進口處歡迎您。隨後教會義工需確認您的崇拜預約,並請您配戴口罩參加崇拜;如果您沒有口罩,義工會贈送一個給您。如果您需要用洗手液,教會進口處也會有預備。接下來,義工會量您的體溫,您需書面回答與新冠病毒病徵有關的初步測試問題(包括,熱度,呼吸困難,咳嗽,疑似流感的症狀,暫時失去味覺或嗅覺,噁心等等),以及可能接觸到新冠病毒的問題(例如,直接接觸,旅行所到之地,等等)。等您完成這些程序後,就可安心步入會堂參加崇拜。
