REFERENCE WINCHESTER SDA CHURCH REOPENING
After 18 months of Covid lockdown, we are returning to The Westgate School for a trial Divine Service (i.e. not Sabbath School at the moment).
Please find the dates of Divine Services by clicking on "Preaching Plan" above with the speakers and the dates of our special services.
From 13th August 2022, we have Divine Service every Sabbath (2:30 pm - 3:30 pm).
COVID-19 PRECAUTIONS:
There are currently no Government Covid-19 restrictions in place regarding places of worship. However, we would encourage you to continue to be vigilant as we are still hearing of positive Covid testing. Even though the restrictions are lifted, let us be observant of the protocols, washing of hands, social distancing and - if necessary - wearing of face masks.
In our Winchester Church, the prime consideration will continue to be the safety of all attendees because COVID-19 is far from being defeated. No one is immune from catching COVID-19; though vaccinations significantly reduce the risk, they do not eliminate it, and it is possible to be carriers of the disease. To be able to safely return to Church Services, Winchester Church has an approved Risk Assessment in place, and in accordance with that, all attendees are requested to comply with the following guidance:
- If you are showing any signs of COVID symptoms, such as high temperature, a new continuous cough, or loss or change to your sense of smell or taste, please stay at home.- Designated members have been appointed to set up the hall beforehand.- The hall is a good size and will allow us to keep a safe distance apart.- Whatever the weather, the hall will be kept well-ventilated, so please make sure you bring suitable clothing with you to stay warm!
- Refreshments are provided after our worship service, and all are welcome to participate. Please note it is a served service (not self-service).
Our desire is to inform you, keep us compliant with our Risk Assessment and, most important of all, help us meet our strong desire to keep every precious attendee safe. We want to see all of you back safe with us for many more worship services! Winchester Church Safety Officer
