Sunday Service bookings

From Monday 19th July Covid-19 rules were relaxed in England, however due to the increase in cases we would like to take a cautious approach so here are some suggestions we would ask you to follow :


1. Bookings. There is no longer any need to book for services online but we will continue to use a paper sign-in system on arrival at church for track and trace purposes.

​

​

2. Masks. Given the warnings about rising infection numbers and people's anxiety about going from full precautions to no precautions overnight, we would ask that you consider continuing to wear a mask during the service and while moving around in church.

3. Spacing. While we are allowed to sit beside each other on the 25th, could we also suggest that we still spread out as much as we can. The two side aisles will be allocated for those who want to strictly observe social distancing while the central seats will be for those who are comfortable sitting next to others.

4. Hugging. We will continue to share the Peace by staying in our places. Please do not rush up to people and hug them without first asking if they are comfortable with this.
5. Communion. We will continue to receive only the bread in the form of wafers.

6. Zoom. Over the summer we are aiming to keep all of our services on Zoom as well as in the building. Please bear with us if there are technical issues when members of the team are away on holiday. The services will be on the same Zoom login every week (see below). Please make a note of this today as the link won't be sent out again over the summer. 

7. Fellowship. For those wishing to chat after the service, please spread out around the building or use the small garden for socialising. Please be mindful of others who may be more nervous about social mixing.

8. Refreshments. Please continue to bring your own bottles of water to church. We hope it will be possible to resume refreshments at some point after the summer.

9. Giving. We still need your gifts to ensure our financial stability this year! If you're not on the Parish Giving Scheme for regular givers, you can give online here: https://www.stjohnsouthall.org.uk/online-donations

SAFEGUARDING AT ST JOHN'S
PRIVACY NOTICE

ST JOHN'S CHURCH SAFEGUARDING STATEMENT

​

Every person has a value and dignity which comes directly from the creation of male and female in God’s own image and likeness. Christians see this potential as fulfilled by God’s re-creation of us in Christ. This implies a duty to value all people as bearing the image of God and therefore to protect them from harm.

​

  • We accept and endorse the principles set out in ‘Safeguarding in the Diocese of London’.

  • We commit ourselves to nurture, protect and safeguard all our members, particularly children, young people and vulnerable adults.

  • We recognise that safeguarding is the responsibility of the whole church community.

  • We undertake to exercise proper care in the selection, appointment, training and support of those working in both paid and voluntary positions with children or vulnerable adults, including the use of Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) disclosures and making appropriate referrals to the Disclosure and Barring Service.

  • We will respond without delay to concerns or allegations that a child or vulnerable adult may have been harmed, cooperating with the police and social care services in any investigation.

  • We will challenge any abuse of power by anyone in a position of trust.

  • We will seek to offer pastoral care and support to anyone who has suffered abuse, developing with them appropriate pastoral support.

  • We will seek to offer pastoral care and support, including supervision and referral to the proper authorities, to any member of our church community known to have offended against a child, young person or vulnerable adult.

​

If you have any concerns please contact our Safeguarding Officer.
