This Sunday

I am excited for Sunday as it is a great opportunity to honour and celebrate mum’s and motherhood!

A few notes to help us do that well given the new restrictions in Sydney (see: https://www.nsw.gov.au/media-releases/covid-19-restrictions-update-6-may):

1) We are going to have the service outside (weather permitting), so that we can sing publicly. Masks are not required for outdoor services, though you are free to wear one!

2) Please bring a mask with you. Anytime you go indoors, you need a mask on. And it will become clear on Sunday why everyone still needs a mask!

3) Be mindful of social distancing

4) Be proactive with signing in.

5) Kids will be joining us for the singing and notices time, so Dad’s in particular please be proactive and take care of your kids during that time, so that the mum’s can enjoy the singing. Also everyone in the congregation, please help serve any families you know well!

Also, if Mother’s Day is a hard day for you due to your season, circumstance, or history, please reach out and ask for grace, ask people to walk with you in it. As a church we’re always in the tension of the already and not yet, celebrating and lamenting, rejoicing and grieving.
