Coronavirus Guidance Update – 1st July 2020

Jul 1, 2020 | Forthcoming Events, Liberty News, Ministries

We are excited to announce that from July 5th 2020, in accordance with UK Government guidelines, Liberty Church will be re-launching our Sunday services in the church buildings – with social distancing and the proper use of PPE (Hand sanitiser and face masks will be available to all who wish to come to the church). We understand that during this season, some may not want to come back to church because of concerns or fears. We respect and we honour those decisions and therefore, we’ll be still broadcasting our services via Facebook live-stream.

Sunday Services return in a new format

Special AnnouncementChurch re-opening

Posted by Liberty Church, Rotherham on Thursday, 25 June 2020

 

In order to assist us in implementing current social distancing rules and regulations we are spreading our congregation across our 3 locations (6 services in total). We would like to encourage you to register via >EVENTBRITE< to attend just one congregational service on a Sunday if you are able to and preferably the service set aside for your postcode.

In case the need for Track & Trace arises, please provide us with your preferred contact details upon registration. In addition, please indicate on your registration if it’s a family booking requiring multiple seats together.

Pastoral

Although the church office will remain closed, we will continue to check the phone regularly, so if you are concerned or worried, then please contact the church on 01709 562076 or email: info@libertyrotherham.org and we will arrange for members of the Church leadership or the Pastoral care team to contact you, to talk and to pray with you over the phone.

We are also concerned about your emotional well-being, and we recognise the challenges of having to isolate or withdraw from regular contact with Church, family and friends, and therefore we will encourage regular contact with each other, via phone or the Internet.

In addition to this, if you need any practical support in terms of food or household essentials, please let us know and we will do our best to resource them and deliver them for you.

Service Format

Each service will last 1 hour.

  • 25 minutes Worship Performance for reflection. (singing is not yet prohibited by the congregation)
  • 10 minutes Children’s talk presentation or testimony
  • 25 minutes Sermon.

Please note that only a single worship leader is allowed to sing at present, from behind a screen.

Community

We recognise that we are here to serve the needs not just of the Church, but also serve the needs of the community. In the ensuing weeks and months we recognise that many individuals and families will struggle in terms of resourcing food and basic essentials for their homes.

We are intending to keep our FoodBank and BabyBanks open and operational for as long as possible, whilst ensuring the safety of our volunteers. We are also seeking to work in partnership with other churches to provide a strong, robust, public service, that will meet the ongoing needs of our community.

What is God saying?

For many years we have been praying for a revival in the Church and an awakening in our Nation. The western world especially, has increasingly viewed itself as being self-sufficient, and has no need of God. We believe that though this virus is not from the Lord, we believe that God is able to turn the bad into good. God is beginning to shake the nations of the world, to soften peoples hearts and make them aware of their spiritual need of God.

We are believing for a great revival to take place in our Nation and the nations of the world as this crisis unfolds and people begin to turn again to Jesus.

Conclusion

We are closely monitoring updates from Public Health England in relation to our services and events, and will update you the moment things begin to change.

We are praying for you all and we love you all dearly. If you feel unwell and develop a fever or persistent new cough, please visit: www.111.nhs.uk/covid-19

With much Love, Adrian, on behalf of the Church Council.
