SELF-ASSESSMENT

FORM

The Self Assessment Form is obligatory and to be completed every time someone will be attending the weekly in-person worship celebration. This online form will only be accessible for attendees every Sunday starting from 8:00 AM until 10:00 AM. Anyone who won’t be able to access the online form should come to the Centre at least 20 minutes before the start of the celebration at 10:30am. Coming in early will give you enough time to be assessed personally by the GIC Volunteers.

                    How do I register for an In-Person Worship Celebration? If I am a Life Group/Ministry Leader is it mandatory for me to attend?
                
            
        		
        
            
                    Registration for In-Person Worship Celebration is through Eventbrite. The Eventbrite link is available for existing members only at this time. All Leaders are encouraged to attend but it is not mandatory depending on their circumstance.
        
    


    
        
                                        
                                    
                    
                    If I work in customer service like retail, personal services or any occupation with constant person to person interaction am I allowed to attend physical celebrations?
                
            
        		
        
            
                    You may attend the In-Person Worship Celebration so long as the Self-Assessment form is completed with all “NO” answers and physical distancing within 2 metres is practiced.
        
    


    
        
                                        
                                    
                    
                    Will other corporate gatherings for different ministry events re-open as well like youth or young adult?
                
            
        		
        
            
                    Yes, Youth and Young Adult will definitely re-open as Alberta allows more numbers to gather in person.

                    No, it is not mandatory to come if you don’t feel safe or comfortable.  Online Celebration will continue to livestream in the comfort of your home.

a person suspected or confirmed to have COVID-19, as well as their
household to not attend the In-Person Worship Celebration.
