In-person Sunday School is on in the Museum of London Docklands on Sunday at 11 am. Children will need to be pre-registered for Sunday School each week on the updated service signup form.

For those attending, please read the information below. It is vital that you read this carefully. For example, you cannot just turn up – you need to have pre-registered.
Before

  • Please pre-register to attend by filling in this form. If you are a household you can fill in just one form, listing all those from the household who will be attending. We will continue to request that people pre-register for services until the end of September, so we can ensure we have sufficient seating. After that we may just have sign-up for children for Sunday School, or no sign-up for either.  The deadline for registering is 12:00 noon every Friday.
  • From September mask-wearing will be optional. Those who choose to wear masks can sit at the back if they prefer not to be in front of those without masks.
  • Please bring your own notebook and pen if you want to take notes! Bibles and service sheets will be provided under each chair. But if you prefer to print off the service sheet at home (or access it on your phone) please do.
  • Please plan your travel following TfL guidelines
  • If you have any COVID-19 symptoms, please do not attend

On arrival

  • Please aim to arrive in good time, so that we don’t have a queue just before the service starts. The Barge will be open half an hour before the service start-time. Entry will be through the normal main door. On entry please use hand sanitiser (bring your own if at all possible). A one-way system is in place.
  • For the parents who have booked for the Sunday School session, please take your child(ren) to the Museum (Jack Petchey room in the basement) BEFORE the service.
  • A QR code will be on the wall. Please scan it with your phone, if you are happy to give your details. This is for the government test and trace system.
  • Chairs are set out. Please follow the stewarding’s instructions and do not move any seats.


During

  • The toilets can be used.
  • Both back rooms on the Barge are available for creche (the lower room, and the office room with a barrier across the entrance). The creche will be parent-run – so a parent will need to supervise their child; and please bring your own children’s toys.


After

  • those on the Barge will exit through the kitchen. A one-way system is in use. Please exit one row at a time from the screen end, and when you leave please head straight up the pontoon onto the quayside.
  • Parents, please collect your child(ren) at the Museum as soon as the service finishes.

If you have any questions or concerns before attending, please do not hesitate to ask a Staff Member.

Growth Groups

Growth Groups provide an opportunity for Christians to study the Bible, pray, and get to know others in a smaller group. They offer a level of support, encouragement, friendship, and accountability that is hard to achieve in the larger gathering of the main Sunday meeting. Growth Groups meet on Wednesday evenings online from 7.30-9.00pm. If you would like to join a group, please complete a Response Card here. There is also a Tuesday morning Growth Group for women at 10 am online. And there are Sunday options for those who can’t make any of the other days.
