As Coronavirus restrictions continue to relax we are now meeting in the building again. We meet at 10:45 am each Sunday.
We recognise that not everyone feels comfortable with the relaxing of restrictions so we still have some measures in place for the comfort and safety of our church members and the wider community.
- The main entrance door will be open during the service for ventilation
- Hand sanitiser will need to be used when entering and leaving and the building will be cleaned once a week
- All hymn words will continue to be displayed on the big screen. Church Bibles are available to collect as you arrive or you can bring your own Bible if you prefer
- Service cards will be available with the bibles as you enter.
Our practices reflect current government and Church of England advice.
