Worship
We are still meeting at 10am on Sunday mornings.
· You are strongly encouraged to wear your mask throughout the service and the whole time you are in the church building.
· Please physically distance from others.
· The amount of singing will be reduced.
· Morning tea will not be served.
· The church hall will be ventilated by having windows open. If you think you might be cold as a result please dress appropriately and/or bring a rug or equivalent covering to keep you warm.
The Elders will be reviewing what we do on a regular basis.
If you are unwell, please stay at home.
We encourage you to stay in contact with other church people. Please telephone, email, text, zoom or make other contact with them as and when you are able to.
Life Groups etc.
Resources
There is no lack of resources including many that are free and many that are online. Please ask. We can certainly point you to resources.
Our own resources include Peter's Following Jesus website. It is very incomplete but, even so, has enough resources to keep you going for a long time.
That site includes resources for leaders of small groups.
Sharing The Gospel
The gospel is incredibly relevant at a time of anxiety and death and remains a priority for our church.
Online resources
Delivering the Hope Project booklets
Our Children
We'd love to help parents provide for their children during this time. There's a few resources here and we'd love to add more if you have suggestions.
