Updated 27 June 22
(Service pattern updated from rota issued on 23 May. Also Covid guidance and allowing the common cup at Communion services)
It has been good to resume offering wine in a common cup as well as wafers across our Team, and we are glad that this change has been well received in all four parishes of our Team. However, we would like to remind you that intincting (dipping) wafers in the common cup is not recommended as it is no more effective at protecting you or other people from infection than drinking from the cup and prevents those who require a gluten-free wafer from receiving the wine safely. The safest way to avoid spreading or receiving any infection is to receive a wafer alone, which as we have been saying throughout the pandemic is an equally valid way of receiving communion to receiving both the bread and wine. With love in Christ, Andrew, Mary and Victor.
(28 Apr 22) Update on Covid restrictions on worship:
We are continuing to keep our buildings ventilated but recognise that the proportion of the population with Covid as measured by the weekly ONS survey continues to fall. We therefore ask you to prayerfully make your own decisions about mask wearing during church services (as you are legally entitled to do). However, please also be considerate of those who for a variety of reasons may decide they wish to wear face coverings in church. We also continue to urge anyone who tests positive to follow government advice to stay at home for at least five days. With every blessing in Christ, Andrew, Mary and Victor

Guidance on attending church services
- We will continue to provide hand sanitiser for people to use as they enter our buildings
- Wearing of face coverings is a personal choice. Please be considerate of those who, for a variety of reasons, may decide they wish to wear face coverings in church.
- Increased ventilation may mean our buildings are colder than normal so please wear appropriate clothing.
If you are particularly vulnerable to the virus, by reason of age and/or underlying health condition, please do consider carefully if it is wise for you to attend church at present.
