On 3/11, in fighting the spread of Coronavirus, the White House issued a recommendation to Santa Clara County on public assembly: organizations should cancel all gatherings larger than 250 people; Community and faith-based organizations should move gatherings of any size to video-accessible venues or postpone/cancel.
In response and compliance, River of Life Christian Church shall implement the following measures:
Sunday Services
Starting 3/15, all Sunday services will be conducted online (no onsite gathering)
The Mandarin service will live stream at 11AM
All other worship services (English Adult, Ignite, Youth and children) will too be video-accessible
Access to all worship services will be available on the church website and in the ROLCC Social app
Prayer Meetings
Weekday Harps and Bowls meetings will temporarily stop
Wednesday night meeting will stop, with a consideration to resume in the form of live streaming (TBA)
Equipping Classes
Classes will be pre-recorded and delivered to the students
Small Groups
Pastoral zones will decide their own manner of gatherings, though we strongly recommend them to use online venues and platforms
Zone Retreats
All retreats dated before June shall be postponed or cancelled
Church Office
Church office will remain open during the week. Pastors and staff continue to minister and work.
Offering
We encourage online and/or text offering
Mailing checks continues to be an option
Church office remains open for those who prefer walk-in donation
Fasting & Prayer Campaign
We will conduct a Fasting and Prayer campaign via the ROLCC Social app
We shall maintain all of the above for 30 days. Should no additional government directive be issued during the thirty days, we tentatively set Easter Sunday (4/12) as the day of return, wherein all of us will gather in one place again to celebrate Christ’s resurrection.
