Good morning and welcome to worship.

Due to the necessary restrictions that we are all facing at this time, we cannot gather in our church buildings for the foreseeable future. However, church is not closed.

As a church community, we are committed to staying connected, to worshipping God in new ways, to travelling through these confusing and uncertain times together, and to continuing sharing God’s love throughout all of this.

We have come together as a group of churches to share in this journey, working together, sharing resources, ensuring that the needs of our communities are met.

This way of worshipping was not in the plan of any of our churches. We are working together and learning together about how to do this in the best way. Please tell others that you know that there is an online worship space, let them know how to access this. If there are ways that we can do this better, please let us know and we will work with the resources we have to do this.

While you are trying to keep yourself and others safe, take the quiet time to remember that God is with all of us, that you are all loved and welcome in this space.
