Weve reorganised the church to ensure appropriate distancing between family groups; anyone over the age of 11 will need to wear a face covering while inside the church and hand sanitizer, wipes and disposable gloves will be available for your use. Well be asking you to leave your contact details, which well keep for 21 days.
Sadly, due to Church of England regulations, we wont be able to sing, but were very pleased that Jerry Breslin will be with us to play the organ.

Live Services in Churches across the Benefice from 2nd August

Further to the Prime Ministers announcement that places of worship may re-open for worship from 4th July, it has been agreed that live services across the Benefice will resume in August. There will also be virtual services to cater for those who do not yet feel able to venture out to church.

With regard to live services there will be one service per day at one of the churches on the first four Sundays in August at 11.00am. Although there cannot be any singing, the organ will be played at various points. We are aware that there are many who have been shielding or in vulnerable groups who do not yet feel comfortable in going to public places. By the middle of August, we will have more of an idea as to what people might like and will be in a position to plan for services in September and beyond.
