News Updates

Sunday Evening Prayer Meetings
The leaders are meeting for prayer every Sunday evening between 6-7 pm to pray and seek the Lord as to how we should go forward as a fellowship.
However, once fortnightly, having got the business side of things done, we would like to invite church members and friends to join us at the church in praying together as a church.
The next joint prayer evening is Sunday 14th August, starting at 7.15 pm.
Join us, and be a part of the process of discovering where God is leading us.

COVID Guidance
The Government has now removed all COVID-related legal restrictions in England.  However, the virus has not gone away and we continue to have a duty of care to visitors, worshippers, employees and volunteers while in our buildings.  To this end, we have eased some of our restrictions where appropriate, and have made others less intrusive, but our aim remains to keep you safe. Therefore, we will:

• Stop recording visitors’ details.
• Make hand gel available at various points within the building.
• Continue to ventilate the Sanctuary, and other rooms in use, with respect to the weather.
• Continue to make communion a ‘served’ celebration for the ‘bread’, with those serving, wearing gloves, and with individual cups for the ‘wine’.
• Allow Bibles and songbooks to be handed out where appropriate, but isolate them on return for 72 hrs (3 days).
• Ask attendees to respect the social distancing request of other attendees.
• Allow personal choice when it comes to wearing face masks in the Sanctuary and other rooms, but we recognise that it affords a degree of protection in both directions. Folk can take their masks off for singing if they so wish. (We suggest that the Welcome Team should wear face masks).
• Ask people not to attend if they have COVID symptoms.
  
• Continue church cleaning schedule and more intensive cleaning of areas touched by those displaying COVID symptoms while in the church buildings.
