We know that there are lots of discussions taking place about the upcoming changes in restrictions. We want our church family to feel assured that we are looking at how we respond to these changes in a way that both encourages people back to church, but also recognises that there will be many who do not feel ready or comfortable to join us.
What will services look like?
We appreciate that coming back in to church with increased capacities may cause concern amongst our church family. Revd Mark Brown has put together a video to detail what to expect if you feel able to come along to a service in person.
Will I still need to book for services?
After Monday 19th July 2021, we will be no longer requiring bookings for services. We do understand that many people will feel differently about the easing of restrictions and we encourage anyone who would feel more comfortable at a quieter service to attend the 8am Holy Communion. If you want to talk to one of our staff team about attending church, please do contact the church office.
Can I still watch the services online?
All of our services will continue to be livestreamed for August. We will then review the situation again for September onwards.
I feel comfortable to get involved, what can I do?
There are many ways that people can be involved in church, and we will continue to listen to ensure that we make changes that are realistic and well resourced. So many activities rely on volunteers and in the coming weeks we will be asking people to sign up to different areas that they can serve. It is likely that over the summer months you may not see many big changes as we begin the process of organising rotas for the autumn season.
