If possible, we recommend logging in at least twice a year, in October and February, to list your Easter and Christmas events on AChurchNearYou.

That way, your safeguarding information will stand out under a large ‘Safeguarding’ heading as part of the Safeguarding box. Bus routes, parking information and the numbers for local taxi firms will help new visitors feel welcome. Last September, just at the beginning of the Synod on Synodality, I went to the South Caucasus after the Azerbaijani conquest of Nagorno Karabakh.
