Gathered Worship following National Lockdown
Following the dispensation granted to suspend public gathered services, we will restart gathered worship on 1st April 2021, Maundy Thursday, at 7.30pm. This will be a service of Holy Communion. Prior to this the buidling will be open for Private Prayer between 11.00am and 12noon on Monday 29, Tuesday 30 and Wednesday 31 March. We continue to adhere to the Covod-19 secure guidelines, therefore there will be:
– Social distancing between households within the building
– Facemasks to be worn unless exempt
– Cleansing of hands on entry and exit
– No congregational singing
– Communion bread will be brought to you
– A one-way system entering through the South Door and exiting through the North Door.
There will be a short contemplative service at 2.00pm on Good Friday.
Under the Government’s Roadmap published in February we anticipate groups of up to 6 or 2 households may meet outside, such as on arrival or departure. This does not extend to such groups disbanding and immediately reforming with a different composition.
Our worship pattern thereafter will be 11.00am Sunday and 10.00am Wednesday for gathered Holy Communion.
Across the ministry of our Priest, the Reverend Vernon Cuthbert, the service pattern will be:
