Following the easing of restrictions on 19th July there are now no limitations on arrangements for baptism, weddings or funerals, but we are continuing to encourage track and trace and the wearing of face coverings in church at these services, unless exempt. Special arrangements are in place for any who remain cautious about social distancing.

OUR SERVICES

NORMAL SERVICE IS RESUMED AT 10AM EACH SUNDAY!
We are still asking those attending to continue to observe previous safety guidelines - to sanitise their hands on entry/exit and to continue to wear face masks where they are able to do so in consideration for others. Cards are available for people to place on adjacent chairs if they want to maintain social distancing.
From 12 September we are resuming congregational singing in church, but we are asking you to wear a mask when singing for now. Arrangements for Holy Communion are now as follows: people will be invited to come up to receive at the altar unless they need us to bring the sacrament to them. Communion will be offered in both kinds (bread and wine), but this will be administered by the priest dipping the wafer briefly in the chalice and placing in the hand. Special arrangements are in place for those who are gluten free. If you would rather still receive bread only, please make that clear when you come up for communion.
We will keep all arrangements under active review depending on local circumstances and national guidance. Please click here for our latest Risk Assessment
