Welcome to Lurgan Baptist Church
A New Normal
We are pleased to welcome you back to the building for worship. You would be very welcome to join us.
There is plenty of seating available to keep everyone at a safe distance as we meet to learn from God's Word.
We ask that you'll take note of the following guidelines, which will be in place during our services for the foreseeable future.
Wear a face covering
Following the introduction of additional restrictions on 16th October, we ask that you wear a face covering when entering and leaving the church building for any reason.
While not required, please feel free to wear a face covering while seated if you would prefer.
Arrive in good time and sit apart
The deacons need time to usher everyone to a seat at an appropriate distance.
To help them do this, please arrive in good time for the services.
Stay at home if you're unwell
We will broadcast our services online, and distribute CD/DVD recordings as normal.
If you're unwell, or generally concerned for your health, you can still watch the services from home.
Wash your hands
The church will be well cleaned before each service.
Hand sanitiser will also be available at various points in the building. Please make use of these.
The Lord's Table
We will be holding a time around the table in the building.
To avoid any one person sitting in different places during the service, the deacons will also serve the annexe. Please refrain from moving seats.

There will be a baptismal service held in the church at 7 pm on the 25th of October. If you would like to be baptised, please contact one of the elders as soon as possible.
Children's ministries update
Unless there are changes to the current government guidance, we are looking forward to welcoming the children back for Sunday School, Good News Club, JYC, and BYF beginning October.
If your children are attending one of these groups, you will receive a letter from the church by post.
This will detail the measures that have been put in place to ensure that each child is kept appropriately socially distanced, can have fun, and learn lots from God's Word.

Let's help each other
Isolation can be a lonely and potentially frightening time for many in our fellowship, particularly the elderly.
If you have a copy of the church directory, we would encourage you to pick up the phone and call everyone on your page from time to time.
Ask them how they are doing, if you can help them in any way, and encourage them in whatever way you can.
We'd also remind you to pray for your brothers and sisters in Christ at this time, that they would know God's comfort and blessing in this difficult time.
"In God have I put my trust"
