5. This Sunday February 13 we’ll continue to prepare for our futures workshop, which will follow the service. Our focus in recent Sundays has been on readings from the Genesis creation stories to consider the context we’re in, our responsibilities, and so the kind of decision we’re to make about our future. Our focus text this week will be Genesis 2.25-3.10, complemented by Psalm 130.

Worship

1. Attendance at gathered services is presently limited to those who demonstrate that they have had two COVID-19 vaccination shots, or that they are exempt from being vaccinated. It will be necessary to provide proof of your vaccination, either prior to the service or on the day at the door, but this only needs to be shown once for recording; please see here for more information. If you presently are unable to attend under these conditions the live-stream is still available from the home page, or please contact Craig or your elder.
2. Mindful of the health-vulnerability of some members of our congregation and the uncertain state of play with respect to the pandemic, the church council has decided that we will continue to wear masks in worship throughout January, except for those who need to remove them when leading the worship, and for morning tea, or who have an exemption from wearing a mask. We have now returned to reception of Holy Communion in both kinds – small communion glasses only.
