The Church continues to be alive and active, but our buildings must close

We are seeing a huge increase in the number of people falling sick with COVID-19. We must distance ourselves from one another and prevent the spread of infection in order to save lives.

Therefore, as well as public worship being suspended, this and all church buildings in the Church of England are now closed.

Our worship of God and our care for each other continue but cannot be done in this building.

The health and safety of our community is our priority. All bookings and events have been cancelled with effect from Wednesday 18th March – to be reviewed as advised.

We are praying at 12md each day (details available online ) We have an order of service for worship at home which we have posted online. We will be posting videos of prayer and worship.

We will keep our website and social media updated with further information.

Thank you for your support for St Columba’s in this challenging time and we will be praying for you all in coming weeks.
