In light of the developing situation concerning Covid-19 and recent government guidelines, and in co-operation with the Select Vestry, I need to make you aware of changes to Church Activities.

It is with a heavy heart, and after prayerful consideration, that we have decided to postpone the following events…
Come+Hear Mission Week (15th-22nd March)
The Big Breakfast (14th March)
Graham Kendrick Concert (21st March)
Good Companions (19th March)

Church Services will remain unchanged for the time being.

It is our intention to maintain the teaching of our Sunday School programme as far as this is possible. However, the health and well-being of all parishioners, regardless of age, is our highest priority. As a result of this, we wish to implement the following procedures for Sunday School activities:
– All children enrolled in P1+2 must proceed directly to the Bush Hall, entering and exiting via its emergency exit (to the right of the complex’s main front doors);
– All children enrolled in P3-7 must enter and exit the building using the side door nearest the kitchen and proceed directly into the Main Hall.
– Those who attend Bible Class will meet in the Memorial Room and should enter and exit using the main front door.

Regarding youth organisations and their activities, the Scout and Guide Associations will follow their own guidelines, as directed from their headquarters.

All the above arrangements are highly subject to change and will be regularly re-assessed. Please keep an eye on the Parish Media outlets for up to date information.

Please follow the government guidelines, and those from the Church of Ireland. Please stay at home if you feel ill and display influenza-like symptoms, or if you have been in contact with someone who is ill. Do not attend church services or organisations until you feel well.
The church’s duty of care also extends to members of the clergy. If you have influenza–type symptoms, do not call the clergy for pastoral visitation. Pastoral support for parishioners who are unable to attend church services should be provided by telephone or online (e.g. Skype). Please feel free to contact us anytime.

Lastly, let me encourage you to keep praying, and please be assured that Rev. Chris and myself are praying for you also.

Rev. Mark Lennox
Rector
