Bishop James said in his letter to clergy that we "should not feel pressurized to open church buildings at this time if you feel a safer option would be to offer digital and online services.” By the same token, if you are personally concerned about the risks involved, you should not feel under any pressure to attend your usual church just because it is open.

Please note the wearing of face coverings for worship is mandatory.

Please be aware that due to COVID-19 restrictions we can only accommodate a reduced number of worshippers at one time.

Please do not be offended if we cannot admit you to the service.


 

Some of our church buildings are now open for private prayer by arrangement.

St Mary's Church will be open on Wednesdays from 10am-12noon for private prayer

If you'd like to spend some time in St James', or Jesus Church please contact
Revd Shanthi Thompson  or for St. Martins see their webpage

Keep us, good Lord, under the shadow of your mercy

in this time of uncertainty and distress.
Sustain and support the anxious and fearful,
and lift up all who are brought low;
that we may rejoice in your comfort
knowing that nothing can separate us from your love
in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Amen.
