At Parklands Community Church we take the welfare of our church family and community seriously. We are monitoring the advice provided by Public Health England and the church-specific advice provided by the Baptist Union of Great Britain. 

At the moment there are no restrictions on public gatherings that would limit our church activities. As such we will continue to meet together on Sundays at 11am as usual. 

However, we are also taking extra precautions to help keep everyone healthy. 

• We are asking that everyone wash their hands as they enter The Radio Wing and use the antibacterial hand gel provided too.
• Whilst we always aim to be a friendly church, at the moment we’re encouraging people not to greet each other with handshakes or hugs – a smile and a wave will do. 
• We will not use shared cups or loaves when taking communion
• We will ensure extra cleaning takes place, especially on door handles etc. 

Most importantly, we’re asking everyone in our community to follow the advice provided by Public Health England. 

• If you have a new continuous cough and/or a high temperature, please stay at home and self-isolate for 7 days. If your symptoms worsen or you are no better after 7 days, contact NHS 111 online. 
• Wash your hands more than usual, for 20 seconds using soap and hot water. 
• When you cough, cover your mouth and nose with a tissue and throw it away immediately. If you don’t have a tissue, use your sleeve, not your hand. 

We believe that we can live and act as family, even when we’re not gathered together. If you do have to self-isolate, we still want to offer support and care. Whether you need help with your shopping, or a chat on the phone, or prayer, we’re here. You can get in touch with us at prayer.parklandscc@gmail.com. 

We will continue to follow guidance set out by Public Health England and will adapt our meetings and events accordingly. 

Parklands Community Church, 14 March 2020

It may have been chilly and grey outside, but today (October 12th) in The Radio Wing there were the burnt oranges and reds of autumn as kids of all ages tried their hands at leaf-related crafts at the October Parklands Pop-Up Cafe.

Those who weren’t feeling crafty enjoyed some fantastic home made cake and Fairtrade teas and coffees. If you couldn’t make it to this month’s cafe, the next Parklands Pop-Up Cafe is on Saturday 16th November, 10am-noon in The Radio Wing.

It was lovely to see so many at the Parklands Pop-Up Cafe yesterday. The children were so creative with their clay and pasta crafts (pictured). Thanks for coming, and save the date of the next cafe – Saturday 13th October.

With the church about to begin looking at the story of Moses in its Sunday Gatherings, we are putting on the first Parklands Family Film Night to get together and watch the 1998 Dreamworks classic, The Prince of Egypt.

Come on down to The Radio Wing on Friday 6th September for a free night of entertainment, with hot drinks and popcorn provided. The doors open at 6.15pm, with the feature presentation starting at 6.30pm.

This coming Bank Holiday Monday, head on over to the Anson Road Park on Flowerdown Park for the second annual Bank Holiday Funday Monday. There will be something for everyone of all ages, and we at Parklands Community Church are running the cafe.

Follow the Facebook Event for the day for the latest news.

Join us at The Radio Wing on Saturday 15 June from 10am to Noon for the March Parklands Pop Up Cafe. This is a space for people from the community to get to know each other over a cuppa. There’ll also be cakes and cookies available as well as some Father’s Day Craft activities for children.
