The Glen Waverley Uniting Church PSALTER
Opening the building in November 2021
NOTE TO ALL CHURCH GROUPS AND HIRERS.
Hello All,
As a result of the government's announcement that restrictions will be relaxed from this weekend, I am pleased to advise that our church buildings will be re-opening from Monday 8 November.
We have chosen Monday 8 November for a couple of reasons. During this last lockdown, we have taken the opportunity to do some building works, and have replaced the carpet in the Church and Room 2. This work is unfortunately not yet complete. Church Council have also decided that congregation members will be welcomed back from Sunday 7 November, so it seems only natural to re-open that week.
All usual room bookings will be re-instated.
The church office will again be occupied and hire charges for room bookings will commence from Monday 8 November. If there are any changes to your groups meeting dates, please contact the church office.
Until the vaccination rate in Victoria increases further, the following COVID-safe government protocols will be in place:
- ALL attendees must be fully vaccinated
- QR code check in required
- Masks are required at all times indoors
- Strict room limits with a density quotient of 4sqm applying to all rooms/spaces
- All available windows/doors must to be open to allow natural airflow, and ceiling fans must not be used
- Cleaning and sanitising of chairs/tables/door handles etc for rooms/spaces used is required by all groups
- Social distancing is encouraged
GWUC is also asking for each group/hirer to nominate their own COVID Check-in Marshal, who’s task it is to monitor entrances and ensure each person checks in on arrival and confirms their vaccination status. They do not need to keep records of vaccination status.
Please note: A COVID Check-in Marshal can only request that people entering show them confirmation of a successful check-in and cannot compel anyone to do so. If a person refuses to show evidence of a successful check in, the COVID Check-in Marshal can ask that person not to enter the venue. If the person does not comply with the request, the COVID Check-in Marshal is not required or encouraged to enforce the refusal of entry.
The church kitchen is available for refilling of your own water bottles, but is currently not open for serving of food or drinks, and no food preparation or cooking is allowed.
Please contact me on 9560 3580 or 0434 119 335 if you have any queries.
I am looking forward to seeing you all.
Kind regards,
