Dear Vessels and Guest,

The top priority at The Hand of the Lord is the safety and the well-being of our vessels and guest. This is our top priority every day, regardless of the environment. We also recognize and understand that you all have concerns about the coronavirus; therefore, I personally want to update you on everything we are doing to provide a safe environment for you and your family.

First, we are closely monitoring the latest developments and following the guidance from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO). Additionally, we are taking several actions to help you feel confident about your health and safety while you are attending services. We have significantly enhanced our cleaning and sanitation efforts at all vessel and guest touch points; additionally, anti-bacterial soap has been refilled in all hand-washing stations. 

Finally, we are frequently cleaning and disinfecting all restrooms, food locations, and break areas.  In addition to these actions, we are strongly encouraging vessels and guests to practice good hygiene with frequent and rigorous hand washing.

We are asking vessels who are sick to stay home and immediately take the proper actions if feeling sick during services.

It is our hope that these measures give you confidence that we are making an exerted effort to employ the necessary precautions in this evolving situation. We remain committed to providing you and your family with a clean, and safe environment to worship and fellowship in.

For additional information about COVID-19, please read the latest report from the Centers for Disease Control at www.cdc.gov, or your local health department website.

On behalf of everyone at The Hand of the Lord, thank you for your trust in us.
