currently advises all those over the age of 70 should
stay at home as much as possible and all those in
higher-risk groups should avoid large gatherings.
Government guidelines also suggest that
services should be completed in the shortest reasonable
time. Once the service is over, you should leave the
building immediately via the front and side doors,
beginning with those sitting furthest back. Be patient
and ensure that you maintain the appropriate distance
whilst waiting to leave and sanitise your hands once
again on exit.
There will be no tea/coffee facilities.
We would ask you to leave the building promptly once the
service is over and, to avoid queues, to leave the
vicinity of the building as soon as possible.
To protect the most vulnerable in
our fellowship, we must all adhere to these guidelines
To ensure that cross-contamination
does not take place, the building will be closed for
at least 72 hours before another meeting or service.
