COVID-19 Update

In light of the government’s recommendations around responsible social distancing and restricting indoor gatherings due to the COVID-19 virus outbreak in Sydney, there will be changes to how RPC operates for the next little while. We won’t be meeting in-person for our Sunday service or our weekday growth groups / Bible studies, but instead are going to continue our meetings and fellowship online through avenues such as video conferencing, WhatsApp groups, and Facebook groups.

Sunday Church Services
We will be holding our Sunday morning gatherings via Zoom video conference.

Pre-service Prayer – Sundays at 9:45am
Church Service – Sundays at 10am

To connect to the service, simply click this link on your computer, smart phone, or tablet.

If you haven’t used Zoom before, it will prompt you to install the needed software first. After that, you should be able to connect quickly each Sunday simply by clicking on the link. We recommend you use WiFi to connect, as video streaming can be data-intensive.

People who don’t have an internet connected device or who have limited data access can also connect to the Church service via regular phone call. To do so, call (02) 8015 6011 and follow the prompts to enter the Meeting ID: 265 839 636. The regular call charges of your service provider will apply.

Staying Connected
Updates will be posted here and on our Facebook page. If you would like to be connected in with us during this period, please get in contact via email at info@achurchinryde.com, by phone at 0425 218 117, or join us on Sunday mornings for our Church service via Zoom video conference.

Community Prayer Requests
We know this is likely to be a difficult time for our community, and want to try and be there to support each other through this period. If you would like prayer for any reason during this time, please feel free to send your prayer requests to prayer@achurchinryde.net. These will be forwarded to the elders, who will be glad to pray for you.
