This is a lovely Eucharist service lasting about half an hour with the opportunity for quiet reflection. Please see our Sunday Service page for details of the procedures to be observed. We would love to see you.

However, we also need to continue to take sensible precautions and keep some restrictions in place to help keep us safe from coronavirus. Therefore, please note the following:
do not attend worship in church if you have any symptoms of coronavirus or have been told to isolate;
we ask you to continue wearing a face covering as we are indoors;
please sanitise your hands when you arrive in church and before receiving communion;
we will not be passing around a collection plate; if you can, please set up a standing order or, otherwise, please place your financial offering in the plate as you enter church;
at the peace, please remain in your pew and share a sign of peace with others from a distance (for example, by waving);
please respect that some people will want to keep a safe distance from others; whilst this may not always be possible due to the numbers attending, please do your best to be sensitive to others;
we will continue to receive communion in one-kind (bread only);
there are no refreshments served after the service - please make your way straight outside where you may, if you wish, stop to chat for a while.
For those who do not feel happy attending services with lots of other people, you might like to come to our midweek morning communions instead, if you can, where numbers will be low and strict distancing will be kept.

The service is designed to be accessible to children and adults, so there is no Sunday School. There is, however, a creche for pre-school age children, which meets in the vestry after the service begins.

Refreshments are served after the service in the church hall.

The Church has an all ages choir which rehearses following the service at 10.30am.
