Privacy Policy

At The Holy Redeemer Lamorbey we collect different types of information about our users for the following main reasons:

To provide a useful resource in the form of an online directory of users.
To provide an interactive website where email is used to communicate with the users.
To provide a security mechanism whereby we can restrict content to certain groups of users.
To enable the purchase and delivery of goods through our online shop.
To help us to improve the service we offer.

Our principles

We are absolutely committed to protecting your privacy. Our policy can be summarised in one sentence: we will not share your information with others without your consent.

We have established the following two principles:

We will respect your email privacy. You will only receive email from The Holy Redeemer Lamorbey in relation to areas you have expressly signed up for.
We will not share any individual user details (including your email address) to any third party without your consent.

What information do we collect?

We collect information on our users through registration.

The minimum information we need to register a user is your first and last name and a password. We also ask for some further, voluntary information so we can provide a richer, more useful address book.

We collect information on our customers when you make a purchase through our shop.

We will collect your name, postal and email addresses, payment information and information about your order. Payment information is then transmitted and processed securely and is NOT held on our servers.

Who will have access to your information?

You have control over who is able to access specific items of information. By default your personal information will be visible to other authenticated users of the site. You can change these settings from your personal profile page. Your information will be used to build the online address book and show your birthday in the The Holy Redeemer Lamorbey calendar.

Planning your Visit

Welcome

The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so that you know, beforehand, what to expect on a Sunday morning.

When do we meet?

In the church building for our Sunday Service starting at 10:00am. For your first visit, we recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early to ensure you get a parking space and find somewhere to sit before the service begins. When you arrive, you will be greeted by someone on our friendly welcome team. You can speak to the Vicar or the ministers before coming so they can look out for you.

Facilities: There are toilets, baby changing facilities, a creche and the church building is always warm.

Accessibility: There is wheelchair access, and a sound loop for anyone who needs it. Please let one of the Welcome Team know on your arrival and they will help you to get set up. There are disabled toilets in the church.

What happens during a service?

images: Services

🙂 The main service begins at 10am with a warm welcome and opening prayer.

🎵 We have songs in our worship. We typically have three songs and a piece of music during the service.

📖 People read a passage from the bible. One of our leaders will give a sermon (a short talk) that is bible based, about the Christian faith with teaching and wisdom that we can apply to our everyday life.

👫 Sometimes the talk is interactive and we can all join in. Children might help the Vicar with the talk too. This might seem strange the first time you see or hear it but it’s all part of connecting with our beliefs and spirituality. It helps people learn, grow and stay engaged.

🙏 Someone will then say some prayers for the world and our community.

🍞🍷 We receive holy communion, the bread and wine or the holy sacrament of Jesus Christ. If we are new to the Christian faith we learn about this while we receive a special blessing.

💡Afterwards we share news or notices, usually about what’s going on in the life of the church.

🕯 There is sometimes an opportunity for private prayer or healing at the end of the service.

☕ We serve tea, coffee and biscuits after the service. Often cake, plus drinks and snacks for the children. It is a great way to get to know people, and what is going on. There is no pressure to stay, just take time to find your bearings. You can also chat to the Vicar or the lay ministers. All refreshments are free.
