COVID-19 GUIDANCE - UPDATED!

The Corona virus (Covid-19) pandemic still affects many aspects of our lives and the situation is still evolving.

January 2022

Though we may once more hold services in our church buildings, the recent surge in Coronavirus cases means that we must continue to take care to ensure everyone's safety.

It is once again mandatory for face coverings to be worn in church and, as far as possible, to observe social distancing.

Hand sanitiser is available to use on entering and leaving the church. Please follow the guidance of the churchwardens/sidespersons.

Our churches remain open daily for personal prayer:

We warmly invite you to join us at 9am on the first Sunday each month for our online service, led by Revd. Chris Wingfield, our Rector.

See the Calendar for details.
 

Benefice choir practice has resumed - see the Benefice Choir pages

See the Children and Youth page for updates on 'Play and Pray' and Messy Church

If you know of anyone in your neighbourhood who might need practical or pastoral help then do contact a member of the Ministry Team or one of the Churchwardens.

In the Calendar you will find the scripture references for each Sunday and you might like to read these as you set aside some time for prayer and reflection. Below are some prayers that you may wish to use:

For the Christian community

We are not people of fear:
we are people of courage.
We are not people who protect our own safety:
we are people who protect our neighbours’ safety.
We are not people of greed:
we are people of generosity.
We are your people God,
giving and loving,
wherever we are,
whatever it costs
For as long as it takes
wherever you call us.

They are set out so that you can read them as they are or perhaps cut into separate prayers to use each day:
