Congregants will still be subject to safe management measures (including safe entry, zoned seating and procedures for dismissal) and everyone will be required to use the TraceTogether token or app (downloadable from: https://www.tracetogether.gov.sg/).

Ticket booking (and the selection of zones for your seats) is required. This will ensure that families and friends may sit together. Please use the buttons in the banner above to book your tickets.

Junior Church onsite classes on Sundays are for up to 20 children for Preschool and 40 children for Primary level. Please contact juniorchurch@sjsm.org.sg for any inquiries.

TICKETING & ACCESS

Due to the restrictions on safe capacity, entry to church for services is strictly by appointment or ticketing only. Ticket bookings may be cancelled online via link in the confirmation email. If you need help cancelling your tickets, please contact 91357934 for assistance.

Entrance to church is via the car park gate (Dover Crescent). Note that there is limited parking available at the basement carpark. Do consider elderly drivers who might need the spaces more before parking onsite.

ZONING SYSTEM

For your safety and health, please observe the Congregant Zoning System that will be implemented as follows:

The sanctuary will be divided into three coloured zones

Congregants will have flexibility to book tickets according to designated zones.

• BLUE ZONE – priority for congregants who have difficulty walking, families with children under 18 mths and/or primary school children attending JC
• GREEN ZONE – priority for families with toddlers (18 mths and 3 yrs) and/or pre-school children attending junior church
• PINK/YELLOW ZONE – for all adult congregants

Congregants will be issued with color stickers at the screening station and directed to the zonal entrances and seats.

• Note that congregants seated in each zone are not allowed to cross over to the other zone.
• Congregants are requested to use the washrooms at separate locations as directed by the hosts.
• Following the service, please follow directions to exit the sanctuary and the church compound.

VULNERABLE GROUPS

Vulnerable seniors and those with health conditions of concern are encouraged to continue to participate through online services and smaller group gatherings instead of these onsite services. Safeguarding our wellbeing is a collective effort so let's all to our part and avoid crowds unless necessary.

SAFE ENTRY PROTOCOL

Note that the following will be implemented when you come for the services:

1. Please produce your ticket (printed or electronic) for capacity control purposes.
2. SafeEntry Check In and Out system will be deployed at the screening station at the car park. Please have your mobile scanners or NRIC ready.
3. Observe queue lines and maintain safe distance from each other (except for families).
4. Have your temperature screened as directed.
5. You will be issued a zonal color coupon and directed to the entrance of the sanctuary
6. Entry and exit routes for the zones to/from the service halls are marked. Please follow signs and directions provided.
