Hello everyone.
It is with heavy hearts that we have taken the decision to suspend our regular Sunday Services in church as we enter this new national lockdown.
I acknowledge that this will be painful and costly for those of you who’ve been in a position to attend services in church since July, but I sincerely believe that this is the best way of blessing our whole village at this time. The decision was taken in response to the government’s call for us to do all we can to prevent the spread of coronavirus, the overwhelming burden on our health service right now, and rising cases locally. We will review the decision at the end of January.
I will, by exception, be making monthly provision for those who are concerned for their spiritual well-being as a result of this decision, for example because they cannot access or engage with online services, or for whom taking communion physically is essential for their spiritual health....
