Our STRIPE (COVID guidance) team, have prepared the following document that outlines the guidelines we will be asking all attendees to follow for these meetings in order that we can provide as safe an environment as possible for everyone attending.

If you would like to attend, please do take the time to read this document.

Instructions for Meet & Greet (v0.4 05.06.21)

1. A Pastor will be visiting CBC on Sunday 13th June. He is a possible candidate for fulfilling the role of CBC Senior Pastor, and as such will be preaching at the 10am service.
2. On completion of the service, the aim will be for as many of the CBC congregation to socialise with the Pastor and his wife.
3. In the event of fine weather, this event will take place on the church lawn. Wet weather arrangements TBC.
4. To remain within COVID restrictions, outdoor church events are currently limited to a bubble of 30 people, whilst maintaining social distancing rules.

      1. Not exhibiting COVID symptoms and/or do not need to isolate;
      2. Commit to no handshake or other physical contact with minister;

      2. The minister and his wife will take a lateral flow test;

With apologies for the plainness of most of these slides, I nonetheless commend them to you as they contain a number of useful links. Minutes will be available shortly.

The broadcast will ‘premiere’ on YouTube

at 6pm on Tuesday 22^nd December

(and will be available to catchup later)

1. Everyone (and I mean everyone) from any service is very welcome
2. Everyone (and I mean everyone) should dress up in some kind of Christmassy or Nativity-esque way – use your imagination
3. And we need a little acting help (four households and one single)

We’d like volunteer households to take part mostly, kids and adults together. There are no lines to learn, just be prepared for some spontaneous miming! And if you are a single person, or the rest of your family are boring spoilsports, there is a role for a single person too.

Please get in touch with Matt G from the 9.15 service (address in the directory or use the contact form).

Coming to the streets of Corsham this year is a very special adventure. Follow the clues, collect the stickers, arrive at Bethlehem.

On Saturday 19^th December between the hours of 16:00-19:00. Start work on your costume today!

Collect your map and stickers from outside Corsham Baptist Church on Priory Street at 3pm on Monday 14th, Thursday 17th or on the day itself. Or download a map right now.

The small print

Families will have strict guidelines to follow which include Covid safety regulations and the route is designed so that you can start and end at any point therefore avoiding gatherings at any one area.
