We can’t wait to see you!

We’ve relaunched a face-to-face family worship service at 8.30am on Sunday mornings, but COVID-19 guidelines will make things a little different for now. 

Please note that our services are limited to 85 people (including kids), and each week you will need to book in advance for seats.

On booking you will receive guidelines about attending (which you can also read here). Please arrive early (we suggest between 8.00am and 8.20am) to check in and find seats. We use the main auditorium first, and then the back hall with a video feed as overflow. You will be directed where to go. Please follow the ushers’ directions for seating.

If you are unwell, please don’t attend right now and join us on Facebook or here on the website instead.

Also, if you feel uncertain about gathering or your are considered vulnerable (as per the health department’s definition below), please don’t feel under any pressure to attend. Thanks for your patience, we look forward to gathering with you in-person or online.

'And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”' 
(Mark 12:30–31 ESV)

Guidelines for Attending Services

We’re so delighted that we’re able to meet again in-person. 

The guidelines on the left are in place to help keep everyone safe as we gather together on a Sunday to worship God and encourage one-another.

FAQ’s

Here are answers to some questions you might be asking as we relaunch.

We’re looking forward to seeing families joining us as we relaunch. Please reserve seats for all kids as well, as we need our total numbers are still restricted. 

During the service we will still have a Kids’ Spot, and we are hoping to relaunch our Sunday School from 11-Oct.

Please note the Parents’ Room will not be in use for now. 

Yes! We’re celebrating a monthly COVID-safe Lord’s Supper from 04-Oct using pre-packaged elements. Those who are gluten-intolerant should bring their own bread, and those watching at home should prepare their own bread and grape juice. 

Unfortunately we’re unable to offer morning tea after the service at this stage. We’re encouraging everyone to move out promptly after the service to assist the cleaning and pack-up team.

You are welcome to gather in the back yard and playground after the service, and kids may use the play equipment.

We also encourage you to join with others after the service (as is COVID safe for you) at home or at other venues.

You could also connect with a Grace Community Group during the week to dig deeper and share in fellowship. If you would like to join a group (in-person or online, depending upon the group), please contact us.

If you wish to wear a mask to reduce the spread of COVID-19, we have no problem with that. You’re welcome to wear your mask to church. However, even if you wear a mask, you must still comply with the registration agreement above.

You are welcome to bring along a printed service outline (link in the weekly email), and we will be placing printed outlines on every second chair 3 days in advance of each service.
