ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY
- At the beginning of each service we participate in respecting the people God first chose to tend and care for the land on which our church is built, by reading an Acknowledgement of Country. This is to be done after the service intro video and before our call to worship - Doing it in this order does not in any denigrate God's place in the realm of creation, but rather honours the way He chose to create.
- We do this because we acknowledge that we are a predominantly white, middle class, privileged community at GOBC, and this is but one thing we can do to acknowledge that we know that we sit in a position of unjust power in this world. By doing this we proclaim (and remind ourselves) that we are a part of the dismantling of the social constructs that put us in this position. We proclaim that while we sit in this position of power we do so with humility knowing that this is not the world God intended us to live in, and is not the final hope for His creation.

GOBC COVIDSafe WORSHIP
Updated 16th August 2021
Every now and then we will update the protocols the OLT/MLT have decided on regarding Worship/Service Plans and COVID. If you have any questions please let us know:
- For the time being, communion needs to be done in the first half of the service while children are out. Communion is set up in our usual COVID friendly way.
- Masks are to be worn at all times.
- Singing is allowed (for worship purposes). It is encouraged that masks be changed at the end of singing, or at the end of the service if people are going to hang around and socialise. As such, probably only 2-3 songs in a service and have them grouped together where possible, Otherwise it will be like breathing underwater.
- Microphones are not to be shared between people unless sanitised first. We have four handheld - cordless mics. Therefore, no more than four people can be on and share microphones. Exceptions are made for couples (e.g. Gav and Bec can share, Jeff and Sarah can share, Bec and Jeff cannot).
- Church attendees are encouraged to sit in family groups, or with their church small groups, or with those that they regularly have contact with outside of church.
- Musicians/Singers are to space out on stage, or in front of the stage as much as possible.
If I think of anything else I will let you know.
