In line with the recent tightening of restrictions in Singapore, the Work as Worship Retreat's organizing committee is exploring the best setup in order to fulfill the goals of this event. Please join us in prayer as we seek God's wisdom and guidance in this. You may visit the official event page by clicking/tapping on the image below.

Enter by the King's Road gate. It will open 30 minutes before each service to give our ushers enough time to have everyone seated before the service begins.

Come early. The main gate will close 5 minutes after the start of each service to minimize movement in the Sanctuary.

There will be no parking at IBC. We encourage you to come early and park at the nearby HDB estates and walk to the King's Rd gate to go into the Sanctuary.

Upon entry: 1) present your email confirmation to our ushers; and 2) check-in using your NRIC/FIN or TraceTogether app/token. These are the two main things that you need to have ready as you enter IBC's premises. We encourage you to have them ready as you enter the gate.

Observe safe distancing and put your mask on at all times. From the gate to the Sanctuary seats, we ask that you keep a safe distance from people outside of your household, and always put your mask on. 😷

Follow the lead of our Welcome Team. Our super lovely greeters are tasked to fill up seats row by row, one zone at a time. We appreciate your cooperation in helping ensure that we have an efficient and safe flow of worshippers.

No singing, fellowshipping or mingling. In compliance with government guidelines, these are our non-negotiables. We are free to hum and wave at each other, though! 😉

Sermon notes, bulletin and giving will be contactless. Look out for the QR codes on the pews to access all these.

Stay on your seats and in your zone. Once you're seated, please don't move to another available seat. The Sanctuary will be segmented into a few zones to maximize the allowable seating capacity.

Use the designated toilets for your zone. Follow the signages or ask the ushers to direct you to the toilets allocated for your zone.

At the end of service, don't rush your way out. We will be dismissed the same way we are ushered into the Sanctuary--zone by zone. Please follow the lead of our ushers. Thank you for your patience!

Pray with our Pastors on Zoom. We know you're excited to have some prayer time with our Pastors but we're unable to do that yet in the Sanctuary. You can get in touch with them through our Prayer Zoom Room at the end of each service. 🙏🏼
