Corona Virus Update

Posted on by kirkwallmaster

Hi Folks,

We want to be people who love our neighbour as ourselves, and who do to others as they would have them do to us. At this time, these commands of Jesus involve us taking precautions to attempt to reduce the spread of the coronavirus.

Therefore, in line with many other churches, we would now ask you to observe the following:

  1. Please do make yourself aware of the current public health advice on the NHS website: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/
  2. Please do use the hand sanitisers as you come into our church building. They are located at each of the main entrance/exits.
  3. Please try to refrain from shaking hands or from greeting one another with a hug.
  4. Please do stay at home if you are not well, particularly if you have symptoms of a continuous cough or a high temperature.

Thanks everybody,
Tim
