Following an enjoyable and successful, outdoor Easter Day service at All Hallows’, services have now resumed as confidence builds towards further reductions in the coronavirus restrictions as more and more people have been vaccinated.Regular members of the congregation have been recently joined by some new people who have been made as welcome as they possibly can be in these challenging times.Our Sunday Club members were also keen to come back to church and their leader Tracy Rider said, ”Sundays have just not been the same without being in church and getting creative with the children so it is fantastic to be back with them again.”All parishioners and visitors must wear a face mask and use the hand gel on entering church as well as maintaining social distancing from anyone outside of their immediate household or social bubble.
All Hallows' churchyard team have again won the Green Flag for their work in our two churchyards. The team of volunteers turn up in all weathers to keep on top of all the tidying and maintenance required in and amongst all the graves and monuments. This is a fantastic achievement. If you want to join an award-winning team, please get in touch as there is always plenty to do.
