Response To COVID-19
AN UPDATE REGARDING COVID-19
Hi Church,
Chris and I wanted to take a moment to talk to you directly on our most recent responses to COVID 19 as a Church.
We have been advised from our government and health officials that we should cease public gatherings of over 100 people, as well as a need for anyone who has come back from overseas to self-isolate for 14 days, and the importance of practicing good personal hygiene and social distancing.
We feel that as a Church, we need to not just respond in this situation but lead.
We want to be people of faith, but also wise in how we keep people safe, particularly those people more vulnerable at this time. We have a responsibility to follow the directives of our government, in keeping our communities safe.
For this reason, we have decided to move our Sunday services across all SYD locations, to online services only.
From this weekend our services will be on at the same time, just online. For at least the next four weeks, you will be able to join us online at our website, c3syd.church at 8:30, 10 AM and 6 PM.
Also families - we are preparing a great online experience for your entire family. Our kids and youth team have an online program for your kids and teenagers so that you can do church together.
Church, we are in this together!
Church Online is an opportunity for us to unite as C3 SYD, no matter where you gather to watch church, you are part of one church, our church C3 SYD.
It is also an opportunity for us to gather and be engaged, Church is still on!
It is the same time just online. So let’s gather online every weekend, and where possible do this with your connect group, friends or family.
Also, if possible, keep meeting with your connect group. Just because we are online, does not diminish that we are a Church dedicated to helping you find community. So use wisdom, but keeping engaged in your community is important for you and others.
Let’s keep inviting, we are in this together. This is such an opportunity for us to be the Church to those around us in our communities. In your neighbourhood, workplace, school and uni. There is a lot of fear around this time and issue, but we have a message of hope! Every weekend you could invite them to watch a service online, and if they then want prayer, encourage them to reach out to you.
Church we are praying for you, we are in this together and we will see God move in this hour. We love you!
We’ll see you on Sunday Church, for C3 SYD Online!
Ps Phil + Chris and the C3 SYD Team
