As lockdown restrictions begin to ease we are able to take

the first steps towards resuming public worship.

St Mary’s Church will be open for worship and prayer as follows:

Sundays at 10amHoly Communion

Wednesdays at 10amHoly Communion

(Church will remain open for private prayer until 12 noon on Wednesdays)

All other regular services and events are currently on hold.

The following measures are in place to ensure everyone stays safe in church:

1. •2m social distancing will be observed 
   

2. •Entry and exit, as well as seating and movement within the building will be managed, which may mean a short wait before entering the building
   

3. •You will be asked to sanitise hands on entering and before exiting the building
   

4. •The Government guidance for the safe use of places of worship encourages people to wear face coverings in places of worship and other enclosed public spaces. We strongly advise that face coverings should be worn by all those attending a place of worship where there may be other people present. Face coverings should only be removed to receive Holy Communion
   

5. •You will be asked to provide your contact details in order to assist NHS Test and Trace with requests for that data if needed for contact tracing and the investigation of local outbreaks.  A simple form will be available for this purpose in each seat/pew.  Please bring a pen
   

If you are isolating, or if you or anyone in your household has symptoms of Coronavirus, in line with Government advice

you are asked to stay at home
