A Church Update: what to expect when attending.

As we transition into relaxing of restrictions, we are conscious that there is still some way to go, and people’s welfare and safety, both yours and ours, remain our priority.

With this is mind, certain measures will stay in place:

We will continue to ask you to use hand sanitiser as you come into church and to leave your details for test and trace.

We recommend that you continue to wear a face covering while in church.

While social distancing and sitting in bubbles only is no longer mandatory, we ask you to give each other space, and not to congregate inside the church to talk.

There will be no change to how we currently conduct and celebrate Holy Communion.

We will be singing hymns again and offering refreshments in the Community Centre following our Sunday Service.
