Hi folks
Here's an update on this weekend's service. We are going to be hosting our first (in my time anyway) drive-in church service! We will gather at 11am, staying in our cars, and join together as we worship God. It will still be streamed online - so you can stay in your home if you feel more secure.
There are a few serious guidlines that we will need you to observe:
1. ONLY ATTEND IF YOU FEEL WELL ENOUGH AND FEEL SECURE ENOUGH TO DO SO!!! We prefer that you were well rather than feeling obligated to be out.
2. Don't offer lifts to people outside your family - the social distancing guidelines are still in force.
3. Please park where you are directed to, the church and glebe wardens will be "seating" everyone!
4. STAY IN YOUR CAR!!
5. STAY IN YOUR CAR!!
6. Feel perfectly free to wind your windows down, and to shout over to those parked around you, but please, please observe rules 4 and 5!
7. You will be given a service sheet at the service - please do not throw it out of the car on the way home. Dispose of the sheets responsibly.
8. When we are leaving, do so in an organised manner - again the church wardens will direct you out. Tea and coffee will be available after the service in your own house - we can't serve it in the carpark.
9. Please feel free to attend in comfortable clothes, no one will comment on your attire. We don't even expect you to have washed your car!!
10. Join in with the service - while there will be no hymns, there will be lots of ways to join in.
I konw that the rules look fairly stringent, but there should be lots of fun and it will be a great way to start our return to church. We don't know how long it will be before we can come back together in the church building, but that doesn't mean we can't be creative in our worship. You never know - we might think this could happen over the summer when we get back to normal!!
See you tomorrow.
