The following update has come from our Church Elders;
Return to Church – Update
Having heard the government announcement that churches can return from the 15th of July we wanted to give you an update on our thoughts about returning to church.
Having given it some consideration we feel that it is not the right time to open the church building again and to resume face to face services.
We are still awaiting the detailed government guidance for churches, which will have more information about the social distancing required, other mitigations which will be needed and the limits on the numbers who can attend services.
An indicative timescale would be that, at the earliest, we would envisage returning to the church building for some services in August. It is likely that, even at that stage, we would continue to have some services online.
Our intention, at the moment, is to continue with our arranged programme of services online for July. As Elders we will meet again at the end of July and will continue to examine the guidelines and other information coming from the government and public health authorities.
