Life At King's During Covid-19
What's different and what isn't
CORONAVIRUS NOTICE
For the latest information from King’s, please subscribe to our news email or see our social media accounts on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
We continue to love God and our neighbours. We confidently believe that God’s Word is never restricted, even when we are (2 Timothy 2:9).
Online church services
Every Sunday at 10.30am we will be live streaming a Sunday services via our YouTube channel.
- We’ll have a time of sung worship, with the song words appearing on the screen.
- Prophetic contributions and words of encouragement will continue to be part of our meetings, so whoever is leading the service will give you an email address to send these to.
- We will take time to share news and pray.
- There will be a message based on the Bible.
- We expect to finish by 11.30am.
- You can use the YouTube chat function to introduce yourself and get connected.
Small groups
As usual, small groups are our first point of pastoral care. Our small groups continue to meet, mostly online but in-person in whatever ways adhere to the Government’s current advice. Some groups meet online for coffee and chat before or after our Sunday services, and all meet during the week as well.
You can still join a small group at this time: visit our Small Groups page or contact Chris Rawson for more information.
