Due
to the COVID-19 pandemic, there will be no
Fellowship Time following the service for as long as we need to practise
“social distancing”.
In
addition, we are implementing the following modifications to our normal Sunday
routine:
– Please spread out in the sanctuary, so that the only people you sit with are those you live with, or family
members with whom you have frequent contact during the week.
– Please avoid shaking hands
with others altogether.
– An offering plate has been
placed at the back of the sanctuary, so that you can place your offering onto
it as you enter. We will do this for the
foreseeable future, rather than gathering the offering during the service by
passing the plates from person to person.
– Committee/group meetings will be held in the Church Hall only, where there is room to spread out.
