Mars Hill to skip communion over Swine Flu

Posted by Geeky Swedes on May 2nd, 2009

Mars Hill Church posted on its website that it’s taking extra precautions this Sunday due to the Swine Flu: no communion, no coffee or refreshments, no formal meet-and-greet during service, extra hand sanitizer stations will be available and the visitor center will be closed.

“We have no plans to cancel services, as we want to continue to gather publicly to worship Jesus,” Ballard’s largest church explained in a blog post. “But we also want to be wise, and we want to care for our church and for our community.” Meanwhile, the number of probable cases in King County has increased to 15, but early indications are that the Swine Flu is not unusually dangerous.
