Church Services during Covid-19

From Sunday 4th April 2021, Chailey Free Church will be open from 10:30am - 11:30am where we will have the message preached live. It will also be recorded and then made available online. We will also adjust the services to comply with changes in government guidelines and best practices.

People attending these services should read and agree to abide by the Covid-19 Worshippers Informal Behaviour Agreement below.

We have also prepared the CFC Covid-19 Risk Assessment outlining our risks and precautions in more detail.

We will be limiting the number of worshippers to 12 people. This shouldn't be a problem because several of our regulars will be staying away as they are in high risk groups. Irregular visitors are asked to contact Dave Caughley beforehand on 07770537676 so that we can manage in case of numbers above normal.
