Sunday Services

We, along with many, are delighted that the government has made the decision to allow churches to hold services FROM 5 July.

I emphasise the word ʻfromʼ, as Bishop Martin has just informed clergy, churchwardens and local lay ministers, that we are still awaiting further clarification which he is not expecting until next week, and he states that there should be no expectation, nor pressure, for services to start from 5 July.

The opening of churches for worship is not straightforward, and we still have a responsibility in playing our part in not spreading the virus. A quote from the Bishop of London: “The challenge before us now is take the next steps carefully and safely, without forgetting all that we have discovered about God and ourselves along the way”.

Our Benefice Ministry Team will be meeting in due course to discuss the processes and implications for our three churches, and we will make a decision that is appropriate for us all. So please bear with us as we work out, with Church of England guidance, the safest way for us to welcome people back to worship in our buildings.

Should you have any queries, please do contact me.
