How we are responding to the challenge of the Coronavirus (Covid-19) outbreak
This post last updated on 14th January 2021.
Our Elders have met and have decided to suspend public worship services for the moment given the high risk of transmission of the new strain of Coronavirus. Instead we will live stream a service that will start at 10.30am via YouTube, and a little while after the end of the service it will be available as a recording to watch. To help families who have children who might find it difficult to concentrate during the sermon, we will also provide a pre-recorded all-age activity on the same theme which will be available from our YouTube channel, so that you have the option of dropping out of the live-stream and using the all-age material instead. See our Live-stream website page for more details of the streaming.
There’s more information in this video (although since this was made we have confirmed the intention to continue to suspend our services):
Deciding not to hold public worship services has been difficult and we know that some members of our regular congregation will be very disappointed. We will keep the situation under review and will update this site when we feel it is right to restart public services.
Our church office is closed to visitors although our ministry team are working from home and are available for contact.
Our mid-week fellowship gatherings – Growth Groups – have mainly gone on-line, meeting using video technology. If you are a church member who is not normally able to meet with others during the week you may want to consider this option. If you would like to be linked to a group please contact the church office.
We want to support our regular church congregation and the wider community during this difficult time. If you live in and around Leighton Buzzard and want to contact us, ring Ian Watson, the Operations Manager, on 07785 593443 or email office@leightonbaptists.org.uk.
We will update this posting as things change.
