Having undertaken a reassessment, and in consultation with our churchwardens, It has been decided that now is the time to reintroduce the opportunity for refreshments to be served once again.
Coffee & fellowship after Church is an important part of our week, as are social gatherings such as the Mothers Union Coffee Morning and Friendship, and I am also mindful that many have been missing the opportunity to catch up with friends for a long time. Our own mental wellbeing has also been a factor in reaching this decision.
As the Body of Christ, we each have a responsibility to take precautions to take care of one another, and we should continue to do that. If you are not feeling well please don't come to Church services or other Church activities in person. If you are uncertain whether you have been in contact with some who has tested positive for Covid, then please take a lateral flow test.
Mask wearing is now optional in Church, but I would still like to encourage as many of you as possible to wear your masks, and to be mindful that others might be taking stricter precautions to stay safe than you.
We will keep the main church door ajar, to allow some ventilation during services, and do hope that we might still capture the wonder of Advent and Christmas, despite our present trials. Keith Johnson - Vicar

As a response to the present situation, we have restarted our team to support anyone in our community who may need some friendly assistance. Should you need help with shopping or collection of medicines do let us know. If you would just like someone to talk with on the phone, discuss a worry or to pray with you, we have people who would love to help.
If you have problems where you need some advice or have struggled to get help elsewhere we will try and signpost you to the right assistance. We will be very happy to do this and look forward to hearing from you.
Please pass this information on to any local contacts.
The Toddler Group has resumed meeting after taking a break in January due to the Covid-19 situation.
Delivery of the magazine has resumed. The magazine will remain available in digital form on the Parish Magazine page.
Let us join in praying that God would continue to watch over us and keep us safe, especially during these times of great uncertainty.
Keep us, good Lord,
under the shadow of your mercy.
Sustain and support the anxious,
be with those who care for the sick,
and lift up all who are brought low;
that we may find comfort
knowing that nothing can separate us from your love
in Christ Jesus our Lord.
