COVID-Safe Information for our Gatherings
- The ONLY mandatory health protocol remaining for our public worship gatherings CURRENTLY, is Signing-In (and out).
- Because we are community that has a number of vulnerable people in its care, we strongly recommend the wearing of masks, in indoor – close contact scenarios. THIS WILL NOT BE ENFORCED, but if you can wear a mask when physical distancing is a challenge, we encourage you to do so.
- We ask that you practice good hygiene, cough and sneeze into your elbows, wash hands effectively, sanitize at the stations provided and if you are not feeling well, PLEASE stay at home and join us online.
- We are in this together and we will continue to look out for each other, operate responsibly for the sake of the community, keep good hygiene and give each other some space without being silly about it. If we’ve learned anything over the past 18 months, it is that a consistent, common sense approach to public hygiene, will reduce sickness for the most vulnerable, and that’s good for everyone.
