We are really looking forward to Encounter this month!

It's important to note that some of us love being back together in-person and for others of us, it comes with some anxieties.

Following our learning from the last months of Encounter, and taking into account government guidance, we have made the following adjustments. We hope this will help us all to prepare and feel as safe as possible.

Face Covering

Please wear a mask when inside.

We would ask that you keep your mask on - unless seated, eating, drinking or singing.

Seating

We will sit in café style church, for the whole morning.

We love this idea for creating a greater sense of welcome, family and hospitality... we also love it as it will help us to keep social distancing and a level of order. It's a win, win!

There will be plenty of seats for everyone!

Welcome Table

On the door you will be welcomed by a lovely team. First, you will be asked to sanitise your hands. Then you will asked if you would like a GREEN or RED sticker. RED means you would like to remain socially distanced from others - at all times. GREEN means you are OK to be closer to others and if you wish to hug.

Sanitation Station

There will be anti-bac, hand-towels and sanitiser available for all your sanitation needs. Please use as you feel.

Ventilation

We are going to keep windows open so please bring an extra layer just in case!

Food

This month we will be eating lunch together as usual (suitable for all diets).

Because of this, please consider ‘booking out’ if you know you are self isolating, or away. Send a message to a Leader or House Church leader.

Drinks will also be available throughout our time together.

Testing

Testing or proof of testing is not required.

Perhaps adults can please consider taking lateral flow tests before coming.

We hope these actions will enable us to have the most precious time together.... looking forward to seeing you all!
