Dear brothers, sisters and friends of AAC,

We are looking forward to gathering together again in person from Sunday 26th July. The safety and wellbeing of our members and guests is very important to us, so in-line with government requirements, we have created a comprehensive COVID-19 Safety Plan. You will notice changes as you return, but these changes are important so that we can all be safe and feel safe.

On-line methods to participate in the service will still be available for those who are unable to attend, or the more vulnerable in our community.
