We have our full pattern of services in church - details are shown below.
Wearing a face covering when entering the church is no longer required, but we do ask you to be considerate to others and be prepared to wear a face covering if asked to do so.
We also ask that people pay particular attention to using the hand sanitiser provided and keep a social distance.
