Following the recent move to Step 4 of the Coronavirus Road Map there are now no legal limits on the numbers of people allowed in churches, and the 1 meter+ social distancing rule and wearing of face coverings are no longer a legal requirement.We at All Saints however, do feel that we have a responsibility to and for one another, especially the more vulnerable amongst us, and for that reason are continuing to encourage worshippers to wear face masks and respect other people who need to be socially distanced whilst inside our beautiful church.
