Covid 19—What to do if you test positive:

We would ask that if you do test positive and have been at church or any group     using our facilities that you please contact the church office so we can spread the word, stay alert to any symptoms and    isolate cases as needed.

If you test positive for Covid-19:

· You must self-isolate and stay at home or your        accommodation, unless a health professional tells you otherwise.

· You can only leave to get      medical care or in an emergency.

· You cannot have visitors.

· Tell people you spent time with from 2 days before you started having symptoms or tested   positive.

Mission Group : It’s time to get those  knitting needles clicking again!  We have been advised by Family Works that they would really appreciate some winter    knitting again. Perhaps you can help?       Here are their suggestions:

  • Baby Singlets
  • Fingerless gloves (for children)
  • Jerseys (3 – 10year olds)
  • Slippers and socks – all sizes
  • Cot size or single bed size blankets.

Due to the big demand for food parcels, Family Works are in need of empty egg cartons  – 6’s and 12’s to refill. These can be put in the food bank box, or near by.  At the moment Family Works are making up food boxes for those folk isolating from COVID. They need good used magazines to be included in the boxes. There will be a labelled carton in each church foyer for these.

Food Bank Items: 

Suggestions from Family Works. This is as well as the usual general sort of items:

  • Shampoo, conditioner & Deodorants, for both men and women.
  • Hand cream and soap.
  • Items for children’s lunches may include: budget biscuits, muesli bars and small packets of potato chips that come in a large bag that include several flavours.
  • Spreads
  • 750g or less blocks of cheese.

Changes of Address etc:  Please advise the church office of any changes.  Thank you.
