SUNDAY WORSHIP
I so enjoyed seeing those who attended onsite worship last Sunday and catching up with a few of you. It was good to see Rooted Youth and Children’s Church back in action. It was also great to see that so many of you worshipped online and connected with each other in the chat. Attendance at the 18h00 service was low. We’ll monitor attendance over the next 2 Sundays and decide one way or the other regarding the 18h00 service during Level One lockdown. We have tweaked a few things for this Sunday:
- Owing to a problem with registration, for this week only the worship registration deadline has been extended to Friday
- As numbers at Rooted and Children’s Church were manageable, kids and youth don’t need to pre-register. They will still need to register and undergo screening on arrival.
- There will be 1.5m markers to assist you with physical distancing both around the registration table and leading up to the Holy Communion table. Please maintain this distance from each other at all times
- We will revert to the pre-packed communion cups.
