Staying Safe in Church

In line with Government announcements and Diocesan guidelines, masks are not required at church (including for kids and youth and their leaders), though masks are encouraged at your discretion.

The current conditions to keep everyone safe are:
  • No-one who is unwell with a fever, cough, sore throat or shortness of breath should attend the church site;
Our normal covid-safe practices are listed below.

How will church run on Sundays?

All Sunday Church services are running in person on the church site and at the North Rocks Public School. Our Carlingford Morning English and Chinese church services will continue to also be online for those members and visitors who are uncomfortable or cannot return in person.

High-risk people

While we are keen to welcome everyone back to church in person, we appreciate that for some people who are at higher risk from Covid-19, returning to church may be a more complex decision.

If this is you, please take the time you need to work through this. We encourage you to let someone know if this is your situation so we can pray for you and look for ways to keep you connected. We continue to run our Morning Church meeting online (and a post-service Zoom meeting) as well as in person church to support your continued involvement and encouragement, even as we look forward to seeing you in person again.
