Communion update

Communion may again be received in two kinds: bread and wine. It is up to each individual to decide whether they wish to take the chalice. Intinction (‘dipping’ in the wine) is not allowed. Please tick the notice at the back of the church to indicate whether you might wish to receive from the chalice in September, so we have an idea of numbers. Thank you.

Refreshments

We are delighted to be able once again to meet in fellowship after the service for a chat over a cuppa.  If you feel you would like to be part of the 'refreshments' team, please contact the Parish Office.

Update to Coronavirus measures in our churches

Although government restrictions have been lifted, we still advise caution in our buildings. Wearing a mask is up to each individual but we ask that everyone is mindful of other people and respects social distancing. Please continue to use hand sanitiser on entry and we advise signing in, although this is no longer mandatory.  Singing will gradually resume in our services but please only exchange the peace with a smile or wave with the people nearest you.

The situation is constantly under review and further updates will be posted.

Please stay safe and well and be assured of our prayers for you and your families.

​

God of compassion,
be close to those who are ill, afraid, in isolation 
or concerned about their jobs and businesses
In their loneliness, be their consolation;
in their anxiety, be their hope;
in their darkness, be their light;
through him who suffered alone on the cross,
but reigns with you in glory,
Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen
