*As a result of the new national restrictions being put in place, services in the Christ Church building are suspended from 2nd November 2020) until further notice. Streamed services are planned to continue weekly every Sunday as before.*

 

Our services take place at 11am on Sunday mornings and are also streamed online. You are welcome to join us in person or via our live broadcast on Facebook as we come together in worship.

 

You can also watch one of our recent services on our website here and find all our previously streamed services here.

 

Our services will comply fully with government guidelines and therefore the following points need to be noted for those attending in person:

 

  • A record of those attending will be kept for the purposes of track and trace.
  • Face masks must be worn by members of the congregation while in the building.
  • No hymn books, service sheets or other material will be available for issue. If you wish to have a Bible please bring your own.
  • There will be no congregational singing of hymns
  • Social distancing must be observed in the building and the seating in the chapel will be arranged accordingly.
  • Movement around the building will be limited – there will be no access to the kitchen and meeting rooms.
  • There will be no refreshments available and at the end of the service all should leave the building with as little delay as possible.

 

In order to make a prompt start please arrive by 10.50am and take your seat in the chapel.

 

Our church services in the building will be broadcast online via our church Facebook page in order to continue to make our services available to those who are unable to attend services in our church building.

 

The camera to enable the broadcasting to take place will be at the back of the chapel and so faces of the congregation will not be seen in the broadcast. There will be some seating available outside of the camera view.

 

We meet via Zoom after the service for a virtual coffee and chat. The link for this will be shared at the end of the service in the comments on the live-streamed broadcast on Facebook and all are welcome to join us.
