We have updated our requirements to attend church.
The following is the Government guidelines for places of worship:
There are no longer limits on the number of people you can meet. This means there are no restrictions on group sizes for attending communal worship.
Legal requirements for social distancing no longer apply and you will not need to stay 2 metres apart from people you do not live with.
There are no legal restrictions on the number of people that can attend a place of worship, including at significant life events, such as private baptisms, and weddings.
There is no longer a legal requirement to wear a face covering.
Whilst Government restrictions have been relaxed, it is still vital that the necessary hygiene and some precautions are kept in place in order to protect the NHS and save lives.
On entry there is hand gel, please use.
Remain in pew during the Peace.
Our first step to normality will involve the following:
Restart of collection.
Communion will be at the Altar rail (no longer one way)
Thank you for understanding.
