Arrangements for Sunday Services

Firstly we want to say thank you for the feedback we have received over the arrangements so far for Sunday services since we have returned. It is very important to us that we hear from everybody about how we can make coming to worship welcoming and enjoyable. As Christians we are called to meet together to worship and support each other and we want to do this in the best possible way.

We are living in changing circumstances and it is very important that we take into account everybody’s views. The weather is now turning with the arrival of Autumn and we are aware it is becoming colder and some are feeling the cold due to the doors being kept open to improve air circulation. From this Sunday onwards the doors will be kept shut during the service to overcome drafts. To help compensate for the loss of air circulation we are buying an air purifier which draws in air and kills viruses and other biological infections through ultraviolet light. These are designed for use in halls, and make very little sound and so it should not interfere with the service. This is a major investment, costing approximately £1000 for one appliance. However with the onset of Autumn and Winter there will be other infections circulating as well as Covid and we want to care for people as best we can.

As far as the use of masks is concerned we know that for some they find it very uncomfortable for the length of the service. Government guidelines are that they are discretionary and this is the position we also hold. But we would ask you to bear in mind how others will feel if they are not being worn. Reportedly the wearing of masks reduces the risk of infection by approximately 70%.

The service will be kept a little shorter while infection rates remain higher to limit risk of infection.

Thank you so much for reading this update and bless you this week.
