HouseChurch Update 30 April

Hey Church Family

We wanted to give you an update on the recent announcement by our Premier of WA that from 27 April 2020, indoor and outdoor non-work gatherings of up to 10 people are now allowed at:
- weddings and funerals
- outdoor personal training
- home opens and display village inspections, and
- indoor non-work gatherings in a home (this includes our HouseChurch gatherings).

In light of this announcement, our Leadership team has met and agreed that our HouseChurch gatherings can now be slightly extended to a max of ten (10) people. Having said this your home must large enough to facilitate safe social distancing of 1.5 metres from others wherever possible.

So please feel free to invite others into your home for this Sundays HouseChurch to a maximum of 10. If your single household already has 10 or more people, I’m sorry but you can’t invite anyone.

Even though there is a relaxing of the conditions to 10, We still don’t think that this enough for an entire Connect Groups to gather taking into account children. So we are not yet encouraging Connect Groups to gather in person. But some are gathering over Zoom which is great. Obviously if your Connect Group is less than 10 you are fine.

In addition, some people may wish to open their home to host a gathering of 10 people (possibly in the arvo in addition to your own morning gathering). Yes, multiple services at your house! If this is you, please let us know and feel free to go ahead and make it happen.

This Sunday our Music Team will be leading us, so keep an eye out for the link to that video on the app or at www.thereddoor.cc/house.

If you would like to join a Red Door HouseChurch where there is room please let us know. (In regards to all of the above please email Barbara at barbara@thereddoor.cc)

Finally church, be encouraged. We are convinced that God is doing something remarkable through this time – what was intended for evil, God will use for good, for the saving of many lives (Gen 50:20). Through this trial there is an amazing opportunity for God to refine and build His church. And be expectant for God to move in your home and family in this season.

Much love
Adam and Dale
