Dear Sisters and Brothers,

I have just received the attached FAQ’s for Churches relating to the current restrictions.

I have asked for clarity about congregational singing but I believe that we should plan for congregational singing to occur as long as masks are worn.

Communion according to the guidelines that were issued previously can occur. Communion can be in both kinds with the wine being poured from a common vessel (a small jug) into individual glasses within the sight of the congregation, thus maintaining the practice of a common vessel. People coming to receive communion are to sanitise their hands before and after receiving communion. The person administering the wine is to use a purificator to catch any drops from the jug. The glasses are to rinsed and scolded and air dried after use.

If you are short of communion glasses there is a small supply of them at the office, please let me know and we will get them to you.

On another note:

RESPONDING TO THE FLOODING

If you are aware of individuals who have lost property or have had severe damage to their home a one off payment can be given to them from the Diocesan Disaster Relief Fund. Please let me know and I can arrange for the transfer of funds to the Parish/Ministry Unit for payment to those most impacted.

Peace,
