Notes:
*On return to Church
please be assured that while the services will still be posted online, only the
Rector and the ukulelist will feature on camera!
Holy Communion: Since the start of the pandemic the clergy have
been advised to receive the wine in Holy Communion on behalf of the congregation If people would rather receive spiritually, especially AS YOU WILL BE
WEARING FACEMASKS INDOORS, please
indicate by placing your palms downwards
Please read re: reopening:
Once we return to level 2 or lower, or if Govt guidelines change. Only then
will We plan on resuming with our 8.30am Holy Communion service without hymns.
At this service we normally had less than fifteen people so we don’t anticipate
that social distancing will be a problem, this service is quiet and meditative.
As our 11.00am services resume I expect there will
be some reluctance for parishioners to congregate.
We plan on having every third pew in use with two
meters dividing non household members.
If numbers require Keeping in mind there is a
maximum of 50 persons allowed in the building), we can use our porch and vestry
which are wired for sound and we also have the option of using our halls where
we can broadcast the service live.
We will use sheets instead of hymn books and prayer
books. So, plans are in place for keeping everyone safe while still being able
to come together as a parish community. As guidelines recommend facemasks MUST be
worn while congregating indoors.
When people are exiting, we envisage opening both
doors at entrance of church and will encourage people to leave the building
quickly and have a chat outside in the open air.
Regarding Holy Communion, I will wear a mask for
the consecration and distribute in the aisle and I will quite understand if
people want to receive spiritually.
All Parish Club and
Group activities suspended till restrictions lifted
Bible Study will
continue, on zoom for now
All 11am Services will
continue to be via Facebook Live
Link to service will be
available on Parish website later in day of recording.
