Please be aware that government guidelines now ask that all visitors to church check in using the NHS Covid-19 app on their mobile phones. When you come into church there will be posters with QR codes on them to scan yourself in. The NHS Covid-19 app is available to download from wherever you normally get your mobile apps.If you don't have a mobile phone, a member of the welcome team will take your details. These will be kept on record for 21 days and then shredded. All the usual measures such as wearing a mask, sanitising your hands and maintaining social distancing should still be followed.If you have any questions, please get in touch

You may be aware that the Government announced last week that Churches can reopen for public worship. We are hard at work behind the scenes trying to make sure that we can comply with all the regulations. The Government guidelines were released this morning, and we are awaiting further clarification from The Church of England, as well as the Diocese of Durham. Once we have these we will be in a better position to announce when/how we will be able to reopen for public worship.Our online service pattern will have a slight change, but we will continue to live stream services here on Facebook, with Sunday Worship coming from church at 11am, and Evening Prayer from the loft at 6pm. If you have any questions/queries please get in touch and we will try to answer your questions as best we can.
