It was great to be back at St Francis last Sunday! Thank you for the warm welcome.
Since we've been away, two important things have happened: Covid restrictions have been dropped (in law at least) and Covid numbers have gone up (though reducing again). We met as a ministry team to discuss what that means for us at St Francis: here's where we are:
Our priority is to do our best to keep each other safe, whilst looking to enjoy worshipping God together as and when we can.
We recognise that for many of us, it's too soon to return to church in person, and that may remain so for months to come.
We're delighted to have opportunities to get together safely through café; for our children to be together, and to worship together through Zoom.
We envisage a slow return to the building (potentially over many months), everyone at their own pace, while continuing to make use of the mixed economy of online and inbuilding worship and fellowship, keeping safety a priority.
See what that looks like in practice on the next page - the rest of the newsletter is here: Newsletter 050821
