Receiving Communion

People will be asked to approach the altar in single file.

 

Communion will be given in one kind

(This will prevent contact via the chalice)

 

Hand sanitizers will be available on the ambo and organ

(This will allow people to clean their hands after contact with the bread).

​

The leader of the service will point out the options as they are invited to communion.

  

Refreshments

Refreshments will be served

 

People will be asked to respect other people’s vulnerabilities and keep distance of 1m where appropriate

​

Ventilation

Windows will be opened to allow ventilation.  Doors need not be kept open.

With our building being so tall, and hot air rising, people will not be forced to mingle in air which has been breather out by their fellow participants.  That air will take four hours to fall back down to floor level. 

 

Toilets

Toilets will be in use.

 

Notices advising people to wash their hands will be in place

This will decrease any possibility of passing on Cv19 by physical contact
