BUILDING UPDATE
update
There is a rapidly changing environment and in the last edition of LIFE we had
stated it was hoped that we could recommence gathered events. However, the
COVID-19 epidemic is now reaching a major peak with hospitals at breaking
point. Government has implemented full lockdown and issued revised instruction
for places of worship.
Consequently, a decision was made to suspend gathered services but still
broadcast live services from Woodbury Avenue. This is, however, proving also to
be problematic and we have now suspended live music and are moving the whole
service to back online. The main difference this time is that we intend to maintain
broadcasting elements of the service live. This is being achieved using a new
software tool StreamYard which we have been using for Peter Baker’s live briefing
and Question & Answer evenings.
In addition to the measures above it has not been possible to allow any Small
Groups or Ministries to meet in person at the Woodbury Avenue site.
Therefore, we should be praying for them as they meet online and despite the
inability to meet in person that the Holy Spirit is still uniting us, providing
encouragement and comfort where required.
Finally, please remember all those in our fellowship on the front line, serving at
‘In Touch’, working in Hospitals and Schools, providing the Foodbank etc, please
pray that they will be kept safe as they provide these vital services.
It is likely that these measures will remain in place for some time and we will
advise as more information becomes available.
