A message from the vicar
The PCC have agreed that, for the time being as lockdown is eased, we will remain with one Sunday service at 1030, alternating our service style each week. Our thanks go to all who make worship in our church possible, especially those with the technical knowhow which enables us to live stream our services from the church on Facebook each Sunday.
For those joining us in church, face masks will be required. Please put these on before you enter the building. Social-distancing means seating will be restricted to keep households apart, and please be alert as you approach and enter the building so as to maintain space between you and other worshippers. You will be asked to sanitize your hands as you enter and leave. There will be music but no congregational singing. We ask that you refrain from social conversations inside the building and, once you have moved outside, remember that guidelines require us not to congregate all together, but only in groups of up to 6.
It is important that if at any time you are shielding or have any symptoms you do not come to a public service and if you later develop symptoms, after attending a service, you should inform us as soon as possible. We have to keep records of those who attend for Test and Trace purposes. The QR code is displayed which you can use and there is a sign in list for those who attend.
This will be kept securely for 21 days complying with government regulations.
All our services are live-streamed and can be viewed live (or later) on Facebook. Our Facebook site also includes information about the many other activities going on in the church. You do not need a Facebook account to access this.

Safeguarding
The Church of King Charles the Martyr, Potters Bar is committed to and will champion the protection of children, young people and vulnerable adults both in society as a whole and in our own community. We fully accept, endorse and will implement the principles enshrined in The Children Act 1989 that the welfare of the child is paramount. We will foster and encourage best practice within our community by setting standards for working with children, young people and vulnerable adults and by supporting parents in the care of their children. We will work with statutory bodies, voluntary agencies and other faith communities to promote the safety and well being of children, young people and vulnerable adults. We are committed to acting promptly whenever a concern is raised about a child or young person or vulnerable adult or about the behaviour of an adult, and will work with the appropriate statutory body when an investigation into child abuse or other abuse is necessary.
