GWUC headlines for week ending Mar 27
ChurchCouncil met on Wednesday night. Provisional minutes are now available (Log in required.)
Council decided this week to resume three morning services after Easter at the same times as pre-pandemic. This decision came from both the desire for diversity in worship, and from the fact the numbers attending the 10am services are approaching the allowed limit and some members are staying away because of the crowding. The 5pm service plans to resume after school holidays. Conversation will also begin regarding the 1 pm Indonesian/ Intercultural service. Council seeks feedback from members to inform future decisions. Both 9:15 and 11 will be live-streamed, as they were before the pandemic.
Wearing of masks in church is no longer compulsory, but strongly advised whenever distancing is difficult. It is also encouraged in order to make others feel safe. Windows will continue to be open to ensure ventilation as the best defence against aerosol transmission.Groups meeting in the church buildings should read and abide by CovidGuidelinesForGroups
