Chelmsford churches current covid arrangements in the light of recent changes to Government restrictions.

A meeting was held via Zoom on 22nd July 2021 at 2pm to discuss how Trinity, Broomfield, Moulsham Lodge and Hall Street would open-up their worship after the easing of Government restrictions. A Church Steward and Property Steward represented each church. Rev Mark was in attendance.

It was agreed to follow the Methodist Church’s guidelines and proceed with caution. This will be reviewed at the end of August.

You will no longer need to pre book.

Every other row will be blocked off and seats will be placed appx 1m apart.

People will be encouraged to spread out throughout the church using both sides and all available rows. The choir stalls will not be returned at present.

Please continue to use the hand sanitiser that is placed around the church.

Windows and Doors will remain open where appropriate

The One -Way system will continue

The offering plate will be kept outside the Vestry.

We would encourage people to continue to wear masks, a personal choice when seated. This will be reviewed at the end of August. (Singing loudly behind your mask is now allowed.)

Bible readings will start again in August.

Holy Communion will resume. Wafers will be used instead of bread. People will remain seated and help themselves from the servers

Until Junior Church resumes meeting in September, family tables will still be placed at the back of the church. Activity packs will be provided. If families intend to come please email me on [email protected] so I know how many tables etc.

If you are unwell we ask you please to stay at home.

We ask that vulnerable people make an informed judgement as to whether to attend church.

Lifts to church are allowed now, however please remember that cases are rising at present.

Refreshments after the service will be served in the Link, with tables of six and mask wearing until seated. Janet Wintle
