Hey Red Door Family
You may have heard the announcement from the WA Government earlier this week regarding the easing of Phase 4 restrictions. In light of this announcement we wanted to give you an update on where we currently stand regarding our church gatherings.
Effectively Phase 5 has been taken off the table, and what was announced instead was an extension to Phase 4. The current restrictions now state that “selected venues that predominantly hold seated events are exempt from the 2 square metre rule. These selected venues will be permitted to reach up to 60 per cent of their usual maximum capacity for seated and ticketed performances. The specific venues include: theatres, concert halls, auditoriums/amphitheatres, cinemas, comedy lounges and performing arts centres. These venues are deemed ‘low risk’ as they are seated and ticketed.”
What is not clear at this stage is if this extension includes churches. If it does include churches it would mean we would be able to increase our capacity in unit 4 from 150 to 250 people. Currently a number of government officials are working hard to get clarity on this matter.
In light of the above, this Sunday the 25th October we will continue with HouseChurch as usual (www.thereddoor.cc/house), along with the 4pm Word, Worship and Prayer service for a maximum of 150 people in unit 4, and 100 in units 5 and 6 (for youth and stomping ground).
If church gatherings are included in the list of specific venues we will plan to hold a 10am and 4pm service on the 1st November 2020. In the mean time we encourage you to connect to a HouseChurch. If you are not already in a HouseChurch please come along to HouseChurch at 33 Hammond Rd at 10am this Sunday.
Thanks for your continued patience and unity.
Blessings
Adam and Dale
