From the 25th July,
we are carefully reintroducing singing into the services. To accommodate this we will need to make sure other mitigating measures are in place.
Below is the updated guidance about what you will need to know and do if you intend to come to a service at Trinity:
• We are still asking you to book in to attend a service, via email: enfieldcircuit@yahoo.com by the Thursday before each Sunday service you wish to attend.
We are limiting the capacity to control numbers, so if you are not able to book for one service we will ensure that you are able to join the next available one.
• If you have tested positive for Covid, or are showing any symptoms, then you should not enter the building.
• You will need to wear a face covering in the building (unless you are exempt), and this must be worn at all times.
• You will be asked to sanitise your hands as you enter the building.
• Your name and contact details will be recorded on entry for Test and Trace purposes.
• You will shown to a seat by a Steward and you must remain in this seat.
• We are able to sing whilst wearing a face covering, and the service will be a shorter one than usual.
• There will be no separate Junior Church meeting downstairs, but there will be some resources offered to children to use within their seats (as well as the online offering in the week).
• At the end of the service there will be no refreshments served and you will be invited to leave in turn by a Steward.
We ask you not to mingle afterwards directly outside but to disperse. This is to allow others to safely exit the building.
From 17 May 2021:
You should continue to work from home if you can.
You should get a test and follow the stay at home guidance if you have COVID-19 symptoms.
Gathering limits will be eased. Outdoor gatherings will be limited to 30 people and indoor gatherings will be limited to 6 people or 2 households (each household can include a support bubble, if eligible).
New guidance on meeting friends and family will emphasise personal responsibility rather than government rules. Instead of instructing you to stay 2m apart from anyone you don’t live with, you will be encouraged to exercise caution and consider the guidance on risks associated with COVID-19 and actions you can take to help keep you and your loved ones safe. Remember that the risks of close contact may be greater for some people than others and in some settings and circumstances, there will be specific guidance that you will need to follow even when you are with friends and family.
Indoor entertainment and attractions such as cinemas, theatres, concert halls, bowling alleys, casinos, amusement arcades, museums and children’s indoor play areas will be permitted to open with COVID-secure measures in place.
People will be able to attend indoor and outdoor events, including live performances, sporting events and business events. Attendance at these events will be capped according to venue type, and attendees should follow the COVID-secure measures set out by those venues.
Indoor hospitality venues such as restaurants, pubs, bars and cafes can reopen.
Organised indoor sport will be able to take place for all (this includes gym classes). This must be organised by a business, charity or public body and the organiser must take reasonable measures to reduce the risk of transmission.
All holiday accommodation will be open (including hotels and B&Bs). This can be used by groups of up to 6 or 2 households (each household can include a support bubble, if eligible).
Funeral attendance will no longer be limited to 30 people, but will be determined by how many people the COVID-secure venue can safely accommodate with social distancing. Limits at weddings, wakes and other commemorative events will be increased to 30 people. Other significant life events, such as bar/bat mitzvahs and christenings, will also be able to take place with 30 people.
The rules for care home residents visiting out and receiving visitors will change, allowing up to five named visitors (two at any one time), provided visitors test negative for COVID-19.
All higher education students will be able to access in-person teaching.
Support groups and parent and child group gathering limits will increase to 30 people (not including under 5s)
