Hockinson Apostolic Lutheran Church

The WA State Governor has prohibited all gatherings larger than 250 people to limit the spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus), so as a church we will implement the following until further notice:

We will be going to online Sunday morning services through at least March 29^th.  All other regularly scheduled services are canceled. We are continuing to monitor this situation with the hope that we can resume services as soon as possible.

Please join us online tomorrow at 10:30 am for the service. Pastor Ron will be leading us observing our President’s call for a National Day of Prayer.  The sermon will be delivered by John Isaacson.

For the good of our members and visitors the HALC is suggesting the following safety measures, in order to do our part to help control the preventable spread of illness.

1. Members should stay home if they are feeling any symptoms of illness.
2. Members are encouraged to stay home and watch the service online if they are uncomfortable attending.
3. We recommend avoiding handshakes when greeting.
4. The church does take measures during the regularly scheduled cleaning by wiping down frequently touched surfaces.
5. It is especially important that all attendees wash hands frequently and use good hygiene practices.
6. Regularly scheduled meals have been canceled until further notice.

We will continue to monitor the situation.
