Let's to stay connected

In the fight against Covid-19, we all need to maintain 'social distancing'. For now, we need social distance, but as much as we can, we want to reduce social isolation.  Here's a variety of ways you can stay connected with others. Some are obvious, others less so. try a few!

Call people 
Pick-up the phone/ mobile and call someone.  You've got time now! 

Text people
Use either text/SMS or WhatsApp.

Email people
It's free, arrives immediately, and is good for maintaining social distance.

Write letters
Who doesn't like to receive mail? 2nd class stamps, with their longer delivery time, are potentially safer to use. Be careful to maintain social distance when purchasing stamps.

Post on Facebook 
Keep up with what's going on, join in live events and connect with others via our public-access Facebook page. Click here or use this link: https://www.facebook.com/ChesterRoadBaptist/
