NOTICES

WELCOME BACK !

I am pleased to welcome you all back to worship at Holy Trinity Port Melbourne today, after such a long covid 19 lockdown that closed the church. Please note that the 10am Eucharist can only be attended by those who have received two covid vaccinations. The QR code or manual registration are required, masks are to be worn inside and outside and social distance rule of 4sqm per person still applies. At present only 20 people can attend and bookings are necessary. We can have morning tea, and the Opportunity Shop can open for outdoor trading only. As required, Bishop Geneive has a copy of my double vaccination status that allows me to exercise my parish ministry.                  Noel
