IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONARY SAFETY MEASURES- COVID-19

Dear Congregation,
We want to care for our congregation in all respects, including the physical well-being of our communities. We would like to keep the church family safe by taking some precautionary measures to keep yourself and others safe, especially in light of recent developments with the coronavirus (COVID-19).

Please be mindful of the guidance from the California Department of Health and the CDC, including:

· Stay home when you are sick or even a slight cough.

· Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.

· Cover your cough or sneeze

· Get your flu shot to protest against flu or symptoms similar to the novel coronavirus.

· Avoiding touching eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands. 

· While asymptomatic travelers from China are not mandated to observe a 14-day quarantine, we urge you to consider refraining from attending church events, fellowships and services until the 14-day time-frame has been observed. We also ask that anyone returning from a high-alert area (currently South Korea, Iran, Italy, Japan) consider doing the same. While you are out, you can access the sermons by Monday afternoon each week at www.cornerstonetrinity.org/sermons. 

Some precautionary measures we have in place, we will not be passing the tithe offering baskets around. We will have the ushers at the door with the bags at the end of service or you can put it in the drop box across from the hostessing table, communion will be in front for you to pick up.

Also if you have responsibilities on any given day and are not well, do not worry, we will cover you. Stay home and get better. Just let us know.

We have 3 stationary hand sanitizers located by the lights in the sanctuary foyer, by the kitchen in the fellowship hall, and by the door outside children’s hall. Lysol wipes are available to wipe down furniture in the fellowship hall, children area and sanctuary.

At CTX: Hand Sanitizer by the refreshment table.

The uncertainty of this outbreak is creating anxiety in our workplaces, schools, and day-to-day activities. Yet we remain certain of God’s steadfast presence and careful attention to all that is happening. Please join us in praying for those who are affected by this illness, and those who are working around the clock to minimize the impact of this virus. 

Sincerely,

Rev. Kevin Wong, Pastor Clifton Jang & Jennifer Okano
