The leadership is excited to announce that church services will resume at Living Waters from this Sunday, June 21

Brilliant, exciting, wonderful news!

PRAISE THE LORD

An update from Churches of Christ SA & NT advises

‘…stage 3 recovery from June 19 to June 29; you will be able to have up to 75 people per room and a total of 300 people on site for events at your church’

This means that we can attend church in our building!!!

Please read the following carefully and entirely to familiarise yourself with how church service will be conducted

  • Church service starts at the normal time of 10 am.
  •  Car parking will remain the same; as always please remember to look out for children in the car park and in deference to the elderly and frail, leave spaces closest the entry for them.
  • Door welcomers (this week Frank and Lesley Gathercole) please ensure that everyone who enters (adults) signs in and sanitises their hands. Parents please also add your children’s names to the sign in sheet
  • Parents should be conscious of ensuring that their children’s hands are also sanitised.
  • Sign in sheets and sanitiser will be available at the entries.
  • There will be two entry / exit points: ‘emergency door’ and foyer door.
  • Social distancing rule of 1.5 m is still in place.

  • Due to social distancing we will have provision for a total of 40 people in the worship area and total of 40 in the fellowship area (with the 4sqm rule in play).
  • If you enter the auditorium from the ‘emergency door’ you must exit from this door.
  • If you enter the from the foyer entrance you must exit from the foyer door.
  • Worship: the team will be playing, those seated in the foyer will be able to join in the worship with the aid of the foyer screen.

  • Disposable cups with be prepared ahead of time and the hospitality team will assist with taking your drink order and  serving this to you (thank you Amaechi family) to minimise wait time and cross contamination.                                                                                                                                                                                                        
  • NO FOOD will be served. If you wish to bring your own snacks ( for children or those with medical conditions) you are welcome to do so. Please take your dishes home with you.
