Easing Lockdown
As lockdown eases and the government releases new guidelines, some new activities are becoming possible. However it's likely that there will be, for some time to come, significant restrictions on what we can and cannot do. For example, it may be that we are allowed to gather together in larger groups but only outdoors, or that we are not allowed to sing or serve refreshments. We should stress that we will only allow activities that conform with the guidelines at the time.

We are also committed to maintaining some form of online worship/teaching for those unable to attend physical gatherings.
As you think about your own experience, and that of your friends and family, what are some of the enduring pastoral needs caused by this pandemic – economic, emotional, spiritual, medical – that the church might need to be ready to respond to? *

Post-Lockdown Church and Thinking about the Future?
As we think longer term, one of the ideas we need to be open to is that God might not be calling us to 'get back to normal' as quickly as we can. Instead, he might be asking us to do something completely different. Being forced to stop all our normal activities is a chance to slow down, dream dreams and seek God's vision. This is a process that will take time and needs to be a communal activity. The questions int his part are to help as we begin...
