    1. Sunday Services (IS & ES) will continue to be broadcasted through the on-line streaming. There will be 2 separate streaming – one for Indonesian (by SF church) and another one for English (by SJ church). Both services will be at 11AM.  On-line streaming links to follow.
    2. You can access Sunday School materials on:  www.IECSJ-SundaySchool.weebly.com. Parents are encouraged to help teach their children using the materials provided. Teen class will be done using Zoom meeting lead by their Sunday School teacher at 11AM.
    3. Congregation is strongly encouraged to join our Sunday Services through on-line streaming from home in alignment with the government instruction.

We took careful consideration toward each decisions, and will continue to adjust should any changes on health guidelines.  We advice our congregation to follow CDC guidance on how to protect yourself:  https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prepare/prevention.html

Let’s continue to lift this into our daily prayer:  “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus”  (Phil 4:6-7, NIV )

Please forward this announcement to other brothers and sisters.
