INFORMATION FOR THOSE COMING TO THE CHURCH:
Face coverings are now mandatory in places of worship for those without a medical exemption. Spare face coverings will be available for those who have forgotten to bring one.
Although there is no need to book a place in the church, we will be keeping a record of who attends for test and trace purposes.
Chairs will be spaced apart, at 1 metre distance at the front and at 2 metres at the back. If you are not comfortable singing, please sit towards the back.
We will continue to open the windows to ensure good ventilation and will continue our sanitising routine in the church, including asking you to continue sanitising the toilets after use, please.
If you can, please take a lateral flow test within 24 hours before attending church. These are available from GPs and pharmacies, and we will try to make some spares available at the church each week.
We will of course continue to livestream services on Zoom for those who are unable or not comfortable to attend church.
