The COVID-19 pandemic has been a massive disruption to all our lives. At Fox, we are focused on keeping our Fox family safe. We need to make sure that you are aware of the strategy we have in place regarding Fox and COVID-19. 

We are closely monitoring what the advice from the Government and the greater Sydney Conference office is. Delphine Derrick is leading up our COVID safe team, so if you come to church please follow their instructions. The NSW government strongly recommends that if you attending a church to wear a mask. We will have masks at the door if you wish to wear one.
