With our love and prayers The Ministry Team Update as of 14th March 2020
As a team we are monitoring the situation regarding Coronavirus, and are making decisions to care for those most vulnerable in our community. We will be holding our services tomorrow at 9:15am and 11am, as long as current recommendations remain unchanged, but please be aware of Government advice. If you find yourself with either a cough or a temperature we would ask you to please think of others who may be more vulnerable than yourself and stay at home.. Should you not be able to join us, we will be live streaming our services on our Facebook page and are looking at how we can put a video of the service here on the website. In terms of our worship together these are the changes we are making following the advice from the Baptist Union.
With love from the Ministry Team Update as of 13th March 2020
In light of the recent advice and changes on the Coronavirus situation, we just wanted to contact you all to reassure you and keep you updated. Our plan at present, is to carry on as normal, but with some common sense precautions. We are asking all groups that use the Church to wipe down door handles and light switches after use and to be very diligent in hand washing. We are acting on advice from the Baptist Union regarding communion and meeting together. Normal Church services and communion will go ahead this week, but with some alterations. We already give individual cups and we will be providing individual pieces of bread, rather than the one loaf. We will continue to meet together, until told otherwise, but please be aware of the Government advice. If you find yourself with either a cough or a temperature, please think of others who may be more vulnerable than yourself and stay at home if you have either of these symptoms. In the event of matters being escalated, we shall respond according to Government advice and will try and provide appropriate pastoral care for those who may be isolated or anxious. We will endeavour to keep you informed as to future events. Perhaps you’d like to join with me in this “Prayer for a Pandemic”: Dear Lord May we who are merely inconvenienced remember those whose lives are at stake. May we who have no risk factors remember those who are most vulnerable. May we who have the luxury of working from home remember those who must choose between preserving their health or making their rent. May we who have the flexibility to care for our children when their schools close, remember those who have no options. May we who have to cancel our trips remember those who have no safe place to go. May we who are losing our margin money in the tumult of the economic market remember those who have no margin at all. May we who settle in for a quarantine at home remember those who have no home. As fear grips our country, let us choose love. During this time, when we cannot physically wrap our arms around each other, let us find ways to be the loving embrace of God to our neighbours. Amen. Love from Lisa and the Ministry Team |
