Return to Worship in Church Building Letter
Hello Friends
As you know, we are making plans to re-commence our morning worship of God in the Church Building on Sunday 6th September at 11:00am. This is something which we are all looking forward to immensely – to gather physically after many weeks of remote worship in our respective homes.
As we anticipate this, there are several things of which we all need to be mindful and this letter hopefully covers most of what will be required.
- Do not attend the service if you are feeling unwell or if you think you are showing the signs of having COVID-19.
- Be prepared for worship that is in line with current Government and PCI guidelines. It will be different!!
- Please bring your own face-covering and feel free to use it – although it is not required.
- Follow the directions of the stewards at all times and adhere to the signage on display.
- Entry to worship will be via the door at the bottom of the gallery stairs.
- Hand sanitisation is necessary and this will be administered upon entry to worship.
- Seating will be from the front backwards, and must be followed so as to avoid people passing each other.
- There will be no congregational singing. However we will praise God in a different way.
- After worship, people are to sit and exit only when instructed to by the stewards.
- For contact tracing purposes a photographic record will be made of everyone entering the church building. This will be deleted when it is no longer required.
I’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone in Gardenmore for being so understanding and patient during these weeks and months of lockdown. It has been most unnatural not to worship the Lord together in the church building and for many people this will have been the first time anything like this has happened. I’m sure we will continue to show love and grace to each other as we begin the somewhat complicated task of gathering together once again.
Thanks to everyone who has worked hard and assumed responsibilities that will facilitate us meeting together once more.
Yours in the Lord’s service,
Gary Glasgow
