VICTORIOUS Living - Worship & Celebration

Return to Church after July 19th 2021 As you are aware the latest government guidelines of July 19th has resulted in a change to the current COVID restrictions. Following a Pastor’s Council and Minister’s meeting we have decided the following with all our safety in mind. We do not plan to reverse all restrictions but to adopt a gradual lifting on some of the safety

protocols we have in place.

We will maintain the following  Temperature checks  Hand sanitisation on entry  We recommend the wearing of face masks  Family bubbles to continue to sit together  Seats to be booked with Eventbrite any Sunday you wish to attend  Anyone experiencing symptoms to remain at home  We will continue to encourage personal responsibility and

accountability The following will be reintroduced  Congregational singing  Our offering as part of the worship service

The following will be discontinued  The 2 metre distancing rule  Following the one way system  Zoom only services (from October)

We aim to review and change our safety guidelines as appropriate for our needs as a church and in line with any government changes.

Please feel free to speak to a member of the leadership team if you require further information or clarification of any of the above.

A Call to Fasting and Prayer From Monday 26 July - Sunday 1 August 2021 I would like to invite you to fast everyday for a minimum of 3 hours each day either from  9am - 12 noon  12 noon - 3pm  3pm - 6pm.

Please note if you are on medication do not fast but pray. We are fasting and praying: 

for the Alpha on-line programme



over the good seeds we have sown into the Kingdom



over every seed that has not yet borne fruit that it would come up and bear a great harvest

The Great Commission Is for All Christians In John 20:21, Jesus says to his disciples, “As the Father has sent me, so

I am sending you.” We are sent into the world to proclaim the good news of salvation and what Christ has done for all people to bring them to faith in him.

It is everyone’s responsibility to evangelise locally. Matthew 28:20 tell us to Go and make disciples.

I want you to invite one person to join Alpha on-line for September 2021.

Will you take responsibility for a soul!
