Returning to Public Worship

As COVID-19 restrictions ease in Australia and New Zealand, congregations are anticipating reopening their church doors and returning to public worship. This will be a time of great thanksgiving and joy! Each congregation will vary on the date of return to corporate worship, depending on their location and size. The following resources are provided to assist congregations and households during this exciting time:
Rite for the Return to Public Worship – The Commission on Worship has prepared a short rite to add to the beginning and end of the service once you are ready to return to public worship.
Growing Faith Moment – Returning to Public Worship – GROW has developed an excellent resource to help households reflect on their worship experiences at home and to prepare for the return to worship as a church community.
