We would ask you to continue wearing face coverings during services unless you are exempt, to refrain from mingling and chatting too much within the church buildings, and to continue to observe two-metre distancing from anyone not in your household or bubble. We will continue to serve wafers only and not wine at services of Holy Communion for the foreseeable future. But we may now sing hymns in our Welsh churches, as long as masks are worn, and we hope to be able to do so in the three English churches soon. Thank you for your patience!
