Services in the church building during covid-19
Services in our church building comply with the latest government and Church of England guidance. Watch the video or read below to see what steps we've taken.
To help us manage the limited numbers at services in the building, we’re asking people to pre-register. This information is also needed so it can be provided to the Test & Trace teams if necessary. You can still come if you don’t pre-register, but we might have to turn you away if the building has reached capacity.

NB Service dates are subject to change; we will give as much warning as possible if we need to change the arrangements. All services will be available to watch online as well.

Here’s what you can expect if you come:
* we’re not allowed to sing as a congregation, but we can worship with our hearts and even hum along!
* we’re not giving out service sheets or Bibles - all the words will be on the screens. If you cannot see the screens, let us know when you register (below) so we can provide printed words for you.
* we’re not allowed to do refreshments afterwards, but we are allowed to stand around and chat outside afterwards! Bring a drink with you if you want
* the service will include prayers, praises, readings, and a message from the Bible
* we're keeping the doors open for increased ventilation - so if you feel the cold, bring an extra layer
* we’ll ask you to keep to 2m social distancing for anyone who isn’t in your household or bubble
* we’ll ask you to use the provided hand sanitiser on the way in and out
* you are required to wear a face covering (unless you are in one of the categories which mean you don't need to wear a face covering when visiting shops / using public transport)
* we're keeping a record of who comes to each service, in case anyone tests positive with the virus in the 2 weeks afterwards
* sadly, we’re not allowing children under 8 at the moment, unless they are babies who are carried
