RE-OPENING OF THE CHURCH

7/10/2020

LETTER FROM THE CHURCH SECRETARY:

Dear Friend,

As you will no doubt know, Redland Park URC has been closed for worship since mid-March due to the Covid-19 pandemic. I am, therefore, delighted to be able to write to you on behalf of the minister and Elders with our plans for re-opening the church for worship. They have been put together by a group representing interests across the church and have at their heart our primary ethos: safety.

We plan to restart worshiping in church from Sunday 13th September.

  • Maximum capacity = 18 in congregation to start with, to ensure social distancing
  • Need to book in advance; cannot turn up on spec. (contrary to previous advice); details will be destroyed after 21 days
  • Markings outside to indicate queueing positions
  • Notify Church Secretary if suffering from Covid-19 symptoms (for Test & Trace)
  • Please don’t attend if you display symptoms of Covid-19
  • Notify stewards if feeling unwell during service
  • Masks mandatory unless exempted in line with UK government advice; DB won’t wear mask; readers may remove masks
  • Leave promptly at end of service
  • No gathering in church; can do so outside
  • Temperatures to be taken on entry
  • Hand sanitizers around church; use on entry and exit
  • Bring own cushions and drinks; only use pews without cushions
  • Don’t share microphones
  • Congregation to be shown to their seats
  • BKC to use church after us; they will clean between services
  • No Bibles, books or service orders to be provided; bring your own & take home
  • No singing
  • Live-streaming via Zoom (same login details)
  • No Junior Church on premises until at least October
  • When Junior Church meets on the premises, they will use church rooms and follow guidelines for schools/educational establishments
  • Means will be provided to allow each person to clean toilet before and after use
  • Recommend everyone to get flu jab
  • Collection basket to be available on the way in, locked away and then counted a week later
  • Kitchen will be closed until further notice
  • Lettings to resume 7th Sept
  • Church meeting = Wed 23rd Sept @ 7:30pm via Zoom
  • Aiming to make audio CD’s of live-streamed services available

This may feel divisive but we hope to increase capacity and capability fairly rapidly; treat first two services as “pilots”.
