As we prepare to meet regularly again on Sundays, here is a short video with some key details for you to know. Below is also the transcript of the video if you prefer to read it and also the key links that you need.

Hello, I just wanted to give you all a quick update on our meetings together so that you are fully up to date with our plans for how our meetings will look from 25th July, should the easing of restrictions go ahead as currently planned.
Sundays & Bookings
Our Sunday morning meetings will be at 10am at the RGS every week from 25th July. Bookings for all these Sundays will go live on Monday 5th July and you’ll be able to do that in events on churchsuite (link for the first Sunday below).
These meetings will fall into two categories. We will have full provision Sundays every other week from the 25th July. On those Sundays we’ll have a worship team, refreshments and kids work. For all intense and purposes, it will be church as you would expect. There may well be some restrictions like social distancing and masks, but we won’t know those until nearer the time.
On the alternate Sundays, instead of sitting at home to enjoy church, you might fancy sitting in the meeting room - but be aware there will be less provision.
So, there won’t be Kids Work or refreshments on those mornings, and our worship may be pre-recorded by our worship team, much like it is with our current Sunday live streams.
Streaming
One other thing to be aware of is that we will also switch the live streaming of our Sunday meetings from YouTube to Zoom (link below). This gives an opportunity for those joining from home to be able to enjoy fellowship with others in the church. The Zoom details wil be the same as our current zoom coffee details for all our meetings, but we’ll keep reminding you of the link through our newsletters and blogs. Our talks will be uploaded to YouTube, so if you can’t make a live meeting any week, you’ll still be able to catchup with our messages.
Away Day
With the delay to the easing of restrictions, we’ve also postponed our Away Day to Sunday 26th September. We still aim to have a fantastic day where we can all connect, hang out and enjoy a great day together. More details will come out about that nearer the time, but for now just save the date.
I love that throughout the pandemic I’m hearing stories of people connecting together midweek and on Sundays. Of course, there are Life Groups, but do feel free to find moments to catch up with others from across the church as and when you can.
Much love to you all
Chris
