Friday 11th September 2020
We have followed the most recent COVID-19 Government Guidance for “places of worship” in drawing up our plans, including a risk assessment. This will define the social distancing controls we employ. We have also looked at other guidance related to it as well as the most up to date general guidance limiting groups to 6.

– We will not be able to have everyone back into the building but will continue to provide the live internet broadcast of the morning service for anyone who does not wish to attend.
– The first service back in the building is planned from Sunday September 20th at 11:00am (note the new time). This is planned to be for under 70s only. This service will continue to be streamed live.
– There will be Sunday School available from the Sunday September 20th 11:00am service onwards. All schools have now returned.
– A new early morning service back in the building is planned from Sunday October 4th at 09:00am to 10:00am. This is planned to be for over 70s and for the clinically / extremely clinically vulnerable. If anyone in a household is over 70 then you fall into this category.
– Sunday Evening services are planned to commence on Sunday October 18th 18:00. Due to limited resources this will not be broadcast, and no provision will be made for over 70s or for the clinically vulnerable. The sermon will, however, be recorded and made available online later.
– To comply with Social Distancing guidance:
o There will be no congregational singing.
o No refreshments after the service.
o You must sanitize your hands on arrival and departure and wear a face covering in the building (unless you have an appropriate exemption);
o Maintain 2m from others.
– This is the plan but may need to be changed based on government guidance or our needs.
If there are any changes, we will communicate them to you as soon as we reasonably can.
