Attending Worship at Holy Trinity, Leverstock Green, during COVID19
What To Expect!
Before you arrive:
- Masks are no longer mandatory in church, but we do suggest that you continue to wear them, if possible
- We ask you to consider your own risk of attending an indoor gathering. While we will be taking a number of steps to keep you safe, we cannot make this risk-free. You might want to look at the NHS information and be guided by their advice: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/people-at-higher-risk/whos-at-higher- risk-from-coronavirus/
- We ask you NOT to attend the service if you have: A new cough – A temperature – Lost your sense of smell or taste
- You are welcome to bring your own hand sanitiser, though gel will be provided at sanitising stations.
When you arrive:
- We request that you sanitise your hands on arrival, and find a seat, suitably spaced. If you feel particularly cautious, there are signs you can place beside you on the pew, asking people to give you room.
During the Service
- The service will be live-streamed on our YouTube channel but those watching at home will only be able to see those in the chancel i.e. the priest, the reader and the person leading the prayers.
- When we share the peace, we do not move from our places – we will simply gesture a sign of peace to one another.
- During the distribution of communion, only bread will be shared. The priest will wear a mask and sanitise her hands before distribution.
During Communion.
- Go up the central aisle as directed by a steward, keeping your distance, and receive Communion standing in front of the priest. Return to your seat via the side aisle.
- If you do not wish to receive communion for any reason, that is absolutely fine. You are welcome to come forward for a blessing or to remain in your pew.
- Children are, of course, most welcome but they must remain in the pew with their families.
Thank you.
The Rector and Church Wardens.
