Dear Friends,
Since the removal of restrictions, we are now able to to welcome you back in person, no booking required. For those who prefer to attend online, we also continue to transmit simultaneously on Zoom. We look forward to more being able to join us within the Church. If you enjoy singing, this is now permitted and you will be able to mix and engage, if they are willing, with other members of the congregation.
However, we are mindful that not everyone is 100% comfortable with ’no restrictions’ so
we will be trying to accommodate those that are embracing the removal of restrictions and
those that want to take things a bit slower.
The following will help with the transition:
- Our welcome/door stewards will continue to wear masks to greet you
- Hand sanitiser will continue to be available at the door
- You are asked to continue to scan the QR code or record your details on the forms provided
- The windows and doors will continue to be open to provide ventilation
- Those not wishing to wear masks and wanting to sing will be asked to sit in the front pews, leaving the first two rows unoccupied
- Those wishing to wear masks and/or maintain social distance will be asked to sit in rear pews
- There will currently be no distribution of hymn books or an offertory collection, please continue to give online
- At the end of services those at the rear of the Church will be offered to leave first
We want you to feel safe and relaxed, so please let a steward know if there is anything else they can do for you to achieve this when you are in the Church. While we would love to see you in person, you can continue to join the services via Zoom. If you would like more information on attending, please contact one of the stewards, Peter Hobbs or Dick Dixon or email us here.
