HEALTH UPDATE
The Uniting Church takes very seriously the risks of COVID-19 and other aggressive viruses, so actively strives to provide safe practices for all we do. Like many others, our members include: people of older ages; some with medical conditions; and those who may feel vulnerable.
We expect all members to show consideration for others, and this includes staying away if feeling unwell, keeping social distancing, wearing a mask when in tight proximity to others or in higher risk settings.
If you have any COVID / Flu symptoms, admission is NOT permitted.
Holy Communion and food/drink hospitality have hygiene risks. National UCA Assembly is continuing to allow Online Holy Communion guidelines, until next reviewed by the 17th Assembly in 2024.
We remind everyone a healthy goal is to maintain space from others who are not of the same household*, and everyone is welcome to 'wear a mask' if comfortable distancing cannot be maintained.
* household means: a "bubble", including those residing with you and very close or intimate friends
