The church will be open for private prayer from 10.30 to 11.30 on Wednesdays.
There will be some changes to our service lay out as from the 7th March. We are putting in place a very careful return to church, with safety and distancing our priority. Masks and hand gel will apply. This is to help us move forwards but cautiously.
The new rota to accommodate these changes is as follows:
7th March - 8.45. Eucharist in Church
10.00 - Zoom Morning Prayer;
14th March - 8.45 Eucharist in Church
Mothering Sunday 10.00 - Zoom Family Service
Then for the next two weeks, and for after Easter onwards:
21st March - 8.45 Zoom Morning Prayer
10.00 Eucharist in Church
28th Match - 8.45 Zoom Morning Prayer
Palm Sunday 10.00 Eucharist in Church
Schedule for Holy Week and Easter will be on the new rota.
If you would like a candle lit for anyone or anything, and do not want to come to the building, please contact
Revd. Ali Cooper and she will do it for you.
At this difficult time, please keep our Government and all Key Workers in your prayers.
