Church Maintenance Fellowship Thank you to those of you who have already put your name down to be part of a church maintenance group. Even if you can’t commit yourself, you may know someone who is handy and would be prepared to help out. Why not ask them? They don’t have to be a church member.

Step 4 (Possibly June 21st)

When we move to Step 4 of the roadmap out of lockdown the Government hopes to be able to remove all legal limits on social contact. However, depending on the results of the Events Research Programme, some guidance and recommendations around testing and infection risk-reduction are likely to remain in place for several months. The exact nature of the guidance will only emerge as results from research are analysed but will likely be around handwashing, minimising high risk activities such as hugging and singing, rigorous cleaning regimes and good ventilation.

It seems likely that we will be responsible for carrying out our own risk assessment and implementing appropriate measures relevant to our own context for managing risk. Any activity that involves people gathering will expose those participating to the potential of infection. Being indoors, and in close proximity to others is riskier than being outdoors, socially distanced. The PCC is meeting on June 23 when together we will discuss our response to the guidelines. In the meantime thank you for your diligence in helping to keep us all safe.

Please continue to pray …… for Elsie, Nigel, Jane, Margaret, Elliott and Tom.

Keep us, good Lord, under the shadow of your mercy in this time of uncertainty and distress.
Sustain and support the anxious and fearful, and lift up all who are brought low;
that we may rejoice in your comfort knowing that nothing can separate us from your love

in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.
