Firstly as Christians we respond, as always, in faith and without fear.
We believe our lives are in God’s hands and He is sovereign over all.
Psalms 121
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.
The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
Secondly we need to use wisdom and follow government guidelines and laws.
In light of the recent government regulations pertaining to limiting gatherings to 100 people indoors, we have actioned the following protocols to meet these requirements and still be able to gather together and worship.
We will be running kids church and crèche for the full duration of our morning service, this will enable us to maintain numbers under 100 in the main building.
Note for Parents:
- Parents please drop your children to kids church/crèche BEFORE coming to the main church sanctuary.
- The children will be kept in crèche and kids church until parents collect them.
- Please pick your children up as soon as the morning worship service is concluded.
Pre-Service Prayer
The pre-service prayer meeting downstairs will be postponed over the next few weeks however we strongly encourage everyone to pray at home before the service or come early and pray upstairs in the sanctuary.
After church fellowship:
We will continue with after church fellowship but ask that once you have your tea/coffee that you spread out upstairs, downstairs and outside so that we don’t have to many people congregating downstairs.
Cleaning
We have implemented extra cleaning, focusing on disinfecting all areas that are points of contact.
Personal hygiene
There will be hand sanitiser available at the front door, we are asking that everybody please apply it as they walk in.
Please note that the best way to clean your hands is to wash them with soap for 20 seconds. Doing this before, during and after attending church is advised.
During this period please refrain from physical contact with members of the church.

If you or your children have any cold or flu symptoms,
please stay home and watch the service via the live stream.
