COVID-19 Relaunch Precautions

As a faith community, Christ Moravian Community Church takes seriously the importance of caring for the health and wellbeing of our congregants and tenants, as well as the community at large. We carefully follow City of Calgary and Alberta Ministry of Health Guidelines for COVID-19 and expect those who enter our building to do likewise.

Since the beginning of the pandemic worship services have been exclusively offered online and this option will continue for the foreseeable future. Minimal business is conducted at the church facility. 

As Christ Community Moravian Church begins to reopen its space to renters and small gatherings, a team has been formed to develop policies, procedures and preventive measures to minimize risks and curb the virus. In accordance with public health guidelines, these measures include but are not limited to: 

• Increased frequency of cleaning and elevated sanitization practices, especially for frequently touched surfaces.
•  Mandatory hand sanitization upon entry and hand sanitizers available throughout the building. 
• Compulsory wearing of masks as per City of Calgary Bylaw. 
• Implementation of physical distancing protocols whenever possible.
• Limiting the number of attendees for events.
• Elimination of congregational hugging, singing, responsive readings and wind instruments during worship services attended by the congregation.
• Elimination of shared food and beverages. 
• Implementation of record keeping for contract tracing.
• Provision of awareness materials and signage for staff and attendees with regard to health screening, hygiene, respiratory and self-isolation practices. 
• Renters and user groups must sign a document stating they will comply with Public Health orders and COVID-19 Guidance documents issued by the City of Calgary and Alberta Ministry of Health while occupying and using the building.  

We at Christ Moravian Community Church are dedicated to staying up to date on the latest developments and recommendations from provincial and local public health officials. Let us continue to be kind and thoughtful towards one another as we all navigate this new normal and safeguard everyone’s health and wellbeing.
