HWC Arrangements under various Covid-19 Alert Levels:
Please refer to the link below for the arrangements of Holy Word Church meetings at different COVID-19 alert levels.
Sunday Services will remain online due to uncertain development of the pandemic. The Deacon Board has decided that the date of resuming physical Sunday Service will only be announced when the alert level goes down to Level 1 per the government’s regulations. Online attendance will be recorded until further notice.
The Sacred Music Service for the Cantonese Congregation will be postponed from 17th October to 16th January 2022. The Music Ministry Department has made this decision because choir practice has not resumed due to the current COVID outbreak.
