As of March 6, Washington has 79 confirmed cases of COVID-19, including 58 in King County with 10 deaths. Many companies advised their employees to work from home. Colleges and Universities, like UW, Seattle Pacific University, Bellevue College, hold online classes for rest of the quarter, Seattle University had cancelled their classes for 2 weeks and large civic gatherings are being cancelled.
BLC has made the following changes to our ministries in March:
• All Sunday youth and SS ministries will be stopped.
• Sunday worship for adults will continue, with provision for congregation to join worship from home via Facebook Live.
• Recommend all BLC small groups stop their gatherings in March, but small group leaders will make final decisions for own groups.
• Leadership will evaluate and update this information as conditions change.
