Masks must be worn throughout the service unless you are exempt, Communion will be offered in one kind only (wafers, no wine), and we ask you to sanitise your hands on arrival and to minimise conversation within the building. Seating will be distanced and you should sit only with members of your household or friendship bubble, if possible. MOST IMPORTANTLY there will be fewer seats available than normal, so if you are keen to attend the service, please arrive early in order to secure one. We will do our best to fit people in, however, and everyone is very welcome to attend.
