RCCG Rabboni Parish is taking great steps to welcome everyone back safely into the church premises from Sunday 4th October 2020.  With Covid 19 cases on the rise, it is essential we play our part in supporting the NHS to control the spread of the virus. 

 We can play our part by supporting the NHS to trace anyone who has had close contact with anyone who has tested positive for coronavirus. Where this happens and where necessary we will be able to notify any affected persons to self-isolate to help prevent the spread of the virus.

 Our purpose is to provide a safe environment when worshipping at the church premises. it is also essential that when coming into the premises we all follow the safety guidelines of Face, Hands Space
