OLD WESTBURY SDA CHURCH ATTENDANCE REGULATIONS

Hello church family and friends,

I pray that you and your family are doing well and are safe. I know you are working hard through these troubled times. As a church, we are still navigating through this COVID-19 virus and seeking to follow State and Greater New York Conference guidelines. Coronavirus cases are spiking, and we want to ensure that all recommended safety protocols are followed.

Starting this week, we are only accepting attendance request from Old Westbury Church members and immediate household family for the weekly church service. Make sure you bring a copy of the physical email approval sent to you or on your smartphone. The email for attendance request is sent from our church office on Monday morning, and we ask that you reply by Wednesday noon. Requests will not be considered after Wednesday. Thank you for your understanding as we plan a safe church attendance for all.

Friends and visitors, thank you for your interest in attending our church, but due to the increase of COVID-19 cases, we encourage you to join us via live stream or our Facebook page. Please pray for us as we bring our church Service to you each week.
