In response to the
concern over the H1N1 flu pandemic, your pastors and staff have initiated the
following measures to help control the spread of the virus at
Sammamish Hills:
-
 Staff and members
are encouraged to receive a regular flu vaccination and consult
with their doctors about the H1N1 vaccination.
- Staff and members
are urged to stay home instead of coming to church if they have
a fever, sore throat, body aches and/or other flu-like symptoms.
Parents should keep sick children home from activities and
preschool. People who have had the flu should not return to
Sammamish Hills until their cough has gone.
(Note: this is the
only time Pastor Will or John will ever encourage you NOT to
attend worship.)
- Everyone is
encouraged to wash their hands frequently with soap and water
and use hand sanitizer liberally. Dispensers of hand sanitizer
foam and bottles of hand sanitizer gel will be available in
obvious places throughout the facility. Parents, please assist
your children in the use of these products to protect them from
accidental ingestion and to minimize waste and mess.
- The passing of
the peace will be shared by bumping elbows at all services
during flu season.
- The pastors and
communion assistants will use hand sanitizer prior to serving
Holy Communion. We will be obvious about this for the comfort of
visitors.
- Greeters will be
encouraged to wave hello rather than shake hands with people as
the enter the building.
- Anyone who
would prefer not to shake hands entering or exiting the building
should wave or place their hands behind their back.
