COVID Restrictions

As we slowly get back to normal following the various Covid related lockdowns and restrictions, we are taking things step by step.  If you are coming at the moment in person, please note the following:
 
Singing - There will be singing for anyone wearing a face covering.  As we try and ensure the safety and comfort of others, we would ask that at this time, if you are unable to wear one, that you don't sing out loud. 
 
Face coverings - We are asking for everyone to continue wearing a face covering (unless medically exempt) 
 
Seating - You may choose from sitting in the rows of seating, or the spaced out seating.  Please use a 'Space Invader' card if you wish to keep a space next to you
 
Inside interaction and social distancing - Please keep interaction inside to a minimum for the time being, and be sensitive to others wishing for social distancing.  After the service, we will continue to encourage socialising outside.
 
Arriving at church - Please aim to arrive early to ensure the stewards can manage the seating as efficiently as possible.  On entrance we will ask attendees to wash their hands and share their details for track and trace if willing.
 
Children’s work - As usual, children will start off with everyone in the main service, and then during the service, there will be an opportunity for them to be a part of the children's group that will happen upstairs.  (Still in one group for the time being.)
 
Offering - We would continue to encourage you to give via the bank system (payments to Brookdale Evangelical Church, s/c 090155, a/c 96842082), but there will also be an offering bag to put gifts in if this is needed.
Please look around the site to learn more about us. 
​If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. 

​Who we are...

Brookdale Church is a local group of Christians – that is to say, ordinary people who have put their trust in Jesus and what he did on the cross.  We think God is amazing, and love to come together to Worship Him and hear from His Word, the Bible.  We also are keen to share with other people how great God is, and let people know the good news that anyone who puts their trust in Jesus* will be forgiven and will be friends with God.
* To find out more about what it means to trust in Jesus, take a look at the ‘What we believe’ page, or take a look at this presentation on another website:  Two ways to live
