COVID-19 Update 03-12-2020
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.
