Safeguarding – No personal filming or photography is allowed in the auditorium during services
This is a safeguarding measure as there are vulnerable people who attend. Please respect the privacy of others. The talk will be recorded and available on our YouTube channel Eastgate Plus. If you would like to find out more about the worship songs, please speak to the worship leader after the meeting rather than filming the band or photographing projected lyrics. On most Sundays the talk is available from 6:00pm and this may include some shots of the congregation. If you want to remain out of shot, please sit in the designated areas as shown in the posters.
