Dear sisters, brothers and friends of MCPC,

It is with excitement that we are opening up for in-person worship again on September 5. Your health and safety are important to everyone and therefore, we ask that you follow these procedures and recommendations when you return.

1. Attending in-person worship
   • You may attend in-person worship only if you do not have any COVID-19 symptoms, or do not have a temperature, or you have not been out of the country or flown in a plane in the last 14 days.
   • You will need to wear a mask indoor, and maintain social distance as much as possible. Non-surgical masks are required if you are not fully vaccinated (cloth masks are not acceptable).
   • We recommend that you be fully vaccinated when you are eligible although this is not a requirement to attend in-person worship.
   • You need to fill in a detailed screening questionnaire which determines if you can attend in-person worship or not. [See COVID Screening Questionnaire here]
     
2. Online/paper COVID Screening Questionnaire
   • Everyone is required to complete an online or paper screening questionnaire for contact tracing and declaring that you do not have COVID-19 symptoms, etc.
   • The online form is available here and the paper form is available in the church lobby and Phase 2 entrance.
   • If you use the online form, please show the green check mark [ ✔ ] to the ushers when you enter the building first, before submitting the form. [Please note that there will be no public WIFI at MCPC].
     
3. Protocols for in-person worship
   • English and Cantonese worship attendees are to enter through the Denison Street main entrance, and leave through the Sanctuary side exit or Fellowship Hall exit.
   • Mandarin worship attendees are to enter and leave through the Phase 2 building main entrance.
   • Masks are required at all times inside the building. Non-surgical masks are required if you are not fully vaccinated (cloth masks are not acceptable).
   • Follow one-way system as much as possible and maintain social distance.
   • Congregational singing is permitted with the mask on.
   • No more than 2 people may enter the washroom at the same time.
   • The door between Phase 1 and Phase 2 will be closed to maintain separation.
   • Gym and classrooms will not be opened.
   • Offerings may be deposited in the offering box/plate when you exit after worship to be counted at the end of the Cantonese worship by the envelope team.
   • Volunteers are invited for cleaning the pews after the English worship.
   • For English and Cantonese worship services, do not use mezzanine floor if there is enough space on the main level to reduce the amount of cleaning.
     
4. Worship Service time
   • Worship Time for in-person worship/livestreaming starting in September:
     • 9:30 am English Service in the Sanctuary (livestreamed)
     • 9:30 am Mandarin Service in the Chapel (recording to be uploaded on YouTube at a later time)
     • 11:15 am Cantonese Service in the Sanctuary (livestreamed)
       
5. Holy Communion
   • Please take your Holy Communion set as you enter the Sanctuary or Chapel and deposit the containers in a garbage can as you leave the Sanctuary or Chapel
     
6. Other ministry activities at MCPC – fellowship, Sunday School, refreshment, etc.
   • Only worship services and Cornerstone Fellowship will use the building in September.
   • There will be no refreshments indoor, Sunday School classes, meetings, fellowships (except Cornerstone Fellowship), nursery or other ministry activities until further notice.
