reopening service
For those of you unable to come to the church through illness or infirmity, we are pleased to bring Holy Communion out to your home and / or to visit. We firmly believe that ministry is from all and to all, taking place both in the building and outside in the community.
Guidance received today from the Diocese recommends the use of face coverings in church, see following quotation:
We strongly advise that face coverings should be worn by all those attending a place of worship, including ministers, worshippers, staff, volunteers, contractors and visitors, where there may be other people present; remembering that they are mainly intended to protect other people, not the wearer, from coronavirus COVID-19 and that they are not a replacement for physical distancing and regular hand washing
Please do bring a face covering to church.
