Welcome to the Parish of St Barnabas Homerton
(the parish of St Barnabas Homerton with The Risen Christ Clapton Park)
re-opened for Sunday worship on
Sunday 26th July
What is the service like?
The church building was closed because of coronavirus for 4 months, so it is really special to start meeting again! But it certainly feels rather different from what we have been used to. At the moment, singing is not allowed, so we have to rely on pre-recorded songs. Services are a mixture of live and pre-recorded. There is ‘live’ Holy Communion every Sunday (wafers, no wine)
N.B. We will continue to put a pre-recorded service on our website for those unable to attend ‘live’ worship.
Things you need to know:
1. The service will be completed in the ‘shortest reasonable time’. People should not linger inside the building.
2. The church door will open at 10.15
3. The service will start at 10.30 sharp
4. We aim to finish the service by 11.30 There will be no fellowship time and refreshments inside the building
5. You will be asked to sanitize hands on entry/exit . Please wear a mask.
6. Because of social distancing, the number of seats is limited. When we reach that limit, regretfully we will say ‘we are full – no more room’.
7. The toilet should be used only if absolutely necessary. (Plan ahead!)
8. There will be no crèche or separate activities for children. A quiet activity for children will be provided, under parental supervision.
9. To assist Test and Trace, your name and contact details will be recorded.
If you have covid symptoms or are self-isolating, please keep away!!
