Questions & Answers about returning to in-person worship

What do I need to do/know if I am attending in person?

If you drive to church please park in the outer school car park or in the lay-bys on Burleigh Piece.
Entry to rear of the hall will be via the doors that open to Burleigh Piece.
The service on Sunday will start at 10.30am and entry to the hall will be possible from from 10am.
The wearing of masks is no longer mandatory. Hand sanitiser is available for use as you enter and leave the building.
We will continue to keep the doors and windows open during the service to allow good airflow. As a result it may be cold so please bring an extra layer or two to wear.
We currently do not provide drinks so please bring a bottle of water if you need one.
We currently only have access to the accessible toilet in the corridor. This should be wiped down between uses (a cloth and cleaning spray are provided).

What if I'm staying at home?

For any who won't be at the school we will usually be streaming everything except for the singing from there to YouTube. A livestream feed will go live at about 10.20am ready for our 10.30am start on Sunday morning. You will be able to access the YouTube link via the church website at bechurch.org/live as well as by clicking the menu link above.
