As Hanoi unwinds restrictions from the latest Covid outbreak, implementation is up to the discretion of each local ward under the guidance of the district. As such, the ward of My Dinh has informed all churches to remain online for this Sunday, thus HIF MyDinh will be online only. The Hanoi Club has not received such instructions, therefore HIF Westlake will be on site while streaming live online. The congregation at HIF EcoPark will gather as a small group at the Goodwin’s home until moving into a new worship location on March 21.
For those coming to Westlake, please be mindful of the following guidelines:
Even though there are no active COVID cases in Hanoi, we are encouraging everyone to be mindful towards our host country and one another during this time. Please wear a mask when you are entering and exiting Hanoi Club; they will also take your temperature. Also use the hand sanitizer available in the lobbies. Once inside HIF, please use discretion, being mindful of one another. Keep a seat free between you and those not of your household. If someone you are talking with is wearing a mask, please wear yours also. Instead of shaking hands, use a fist or elbow bump, bow of the head, or just a smile 🙂 We don’t anticipate the MyDinh Ward will prolong the closure since other parts of Hanoi have resumed as normal. Thus, we hope next week HIF MyDinh can resume along with other local churches in this part of the city. Please pray for HIF and the government in Hanoi, so that, Lord willing, we all can return to in-person worship next week!
