Coming to worship in a church building 

What do you need to know before you go to Church?
 
- Wearing a facemask is mandatory, but not gloves.
- The toilets will be closed – except for emergencies.
- There will be no refreshments available – so bring some water (in a reusable bottle) if you think you will need a drink.
- Numbers allowed to attend will be limited. You will need to book in advance.
- A record of those attending will be kept for Track and Trace purposes.
- No bibles will be available, so please bring your own.
- Please only arrive from 11.15am and not any earlier (so we can ensure we are ready to welcome you.)
- If you are showing any COVID-19 symptoms then please do not attend. 
- What will church be like?

Church is going to be very different! 
- You will have to sanitise your hands when you arrive. Someone will welcome you and dispense some sanitiser into your hands (unless you bring your own sanitiser).
- There should be no hand shaking or hugging.
- There will be a ‘one way’ system in place, entry will be via the fire door and exit via the main door.
- You should stay 2 metres apart at all times.
- You will only be able to sit next to people you live with. Please sit in the seat you are directed to and stay there for the whole service, if possible.
- You will be asked to put your Offerings in a basket on a table on the way in / out. There will be no bags or baskets passed round during the service.  We will have the contactless machine available for use.
- The words for the service will be projected on the screen.
- There will be no singing.
- The peace will be done by sign language only and there will be no moving around to greet everyone.
- Communion will be ‘in one kind’ only. In other words, you will only receive bread. The Priest will sanitise her hands several times during the communion prayers. There will be further information about this when we move to a Holy Communion Service.
- After the service there will be no refreshments and you will be encouraged not to remain in the building too long.
- Volunteers will be needed to wipe down chairs, door handles and other ‘multi-touch points’ before we leave the building.  
- Volunteers will be needed to welcome, steward and operate the AV as well.
