Church Re-Opening Update #40 教會重啟更新

By God’s grace, health conditions have improved around us. Cases have significantly decreased and there is no variant of concern on the horizon. In response, LA County updated its Health Officer Order to enable organizations and businesses to set their own requirements regarding indoor masking.

Beginning on Saturday, March 19, masks will be recommended but not required indoors at MBCLA regardless of vaccination status. We want you to know that you will be welcome with or without a mask, and we hope this notice will enable you to prepare for the change. We also hope to avoid any judgment for wearing or removing masks.

Please note that masks are still preferred and necessary for some of our members. In particular:

  • Choirs will remain masked indoors in March by mutual agreement, and will make a decision in the future regarding April.
  • Children's ministry will require teachers to wear masks indoors, while children are recommended but not required to wear masks.
  • Groups that meet in homes should follow the instruction of their hosts.

Let us also remind you to join our worship service livestream if you have symptoms of COVID-19 or other ailments.

各位弟兄姊妹們,感謝主的恩典,我們周邊社區的健康狀況已普遍有了改善:確診人數逐日顯著減少,也沒有任何值得關注的新型變種病毒臨近。因此,洛縣衛生官員指令更新,各機構公司行號可自行決定在室內是否需戴口罩。

3月19日星期六開始,不論你是否已接受疫苗注射,當你在洛杉磯國語浸信會的室內時,我們建議你仍戴口罩,但並不必須戴口罩。屆時,無論你在室內戴口罩與否,我們都一樣歡迎你,我們也盼望藉著這個通告,你可以為這項改變預先做好準備。我們也盼望大家避免對戴口罩或不戴口罩作任何的批判。

在此同時,也請注意對於某些教友,我們仍然希望他們戴口罩,而且其中有些教友仍必須戴口罩。尤其是:

  • 詩班在雙方同意的情況下,三月份在室內唱詩時仍戴口罩,近日將決定四月份是否仍繼續戴口罩。
  • 兒童事工將要求老師們在室內配戴口罩,我們建議孩童們戴口罩,但他們不是必須要戴口罩。
  • 在個人家中聚集的團契,請配合主人是否戴口罩的意願。

在此順便提醒,如果你有新冠病毒病徵或其他疾病,請留在家中,以現場直播方式參與崇拜。
