12.01.2022 Dear Members & Friends, Like all organisations and community groups across Australia our attention to detail and commitment to COVID-19 compliance are of great importance. While the health and safety of all people attending our church is paramount during these unprecedented times most of those who attend are recognised to be more vulnerable to the virus than members of the wider community.... With the identification of COVID-19 cases in Newcastle this week and the growing concern about the risk of contracting COVID-19 we all have a responsibility to be attentive to the health and safety needs of all involved and comply with NSW Government Health directives. We ask that anyone who has even the mildest of COVID-19 symptoms to please refrain from attending church and get tested to ensure the safety of all those we love and hold dear. Take care everyone and hopefully we can all be together again soon.
