Throughout the pandemic, we’ve focused on making sure everyone can access our church services whether online or in person. As government guidance on COVID-19 continues to change, we wanted to share an update on the safety measures in our buildings.

While the easing of restrictions means that some safety measures will no longer be a legal requirement, we know a lot of people remain cautious. In line with the government advice to act carefully, we feel it’s important to continue with certain measures to be on the safe side.

If you are experiencing any symptoms or are feeling unwell, please do not come to church. Instead watch our online Digital service. Here’s what we’re doing to make sure everyone feels as safe as possible in our buildings:

Please keep wearing a face covering if you can
Although the legal requirement to wear a face covering in England ended on 19 July, the government expects and recommends that people continue to wear a face covering in enclosed spaces. So we’re encouraging our teams and people attending our services to continue wearing face coverings if you can.

We’re keeping enhanced hygiene, cleaning and safety measures in place
As before, you’ll find sanitiser and wipes conveniently positioned around our buildings. We will continue to make sure we are maintaining a high standard of cleaning. Services will be held in well-ventilated areas where possible.

Digital service
We will continue the Sunday morning online Digital service at 10 am on Youtube. We expect this to carry on for the foreseeable future. It has been encouraging to hear stories across our sites of friends and family members finding their way back to church via the live stream. Please keep sharing the link with people on your BLESS list.
