COVID SIGN-IN CHANGE: As from 1 May 2021, all hospitality businesses must use the Check-In Qld app when signing in patrons to their premises. The decision has been made that St

John’s Congregation will register to use the app for people to sign in at church. We will then have a QR code for you to scan with your mobile phone instead of having to fill in your details on paper. If you don’t own a mobile phone or aren’t comfortable with downloading apps, we can take your details using another method. You can download the app at any time. If you have any questions, please talk to Keith Campbell or Chris Thamm.
