Sunday 30th August at 11 a.m.  - [Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity] 

As this is a 5th Sunday there will be no service at St. Columba's.  There is to be a Benefice Service at St John's Church, Dalton.  All the churches of the South Mowbray Benefice are invited to attend the service, which will be led by Rev. Dianne Gamble.  

N.B.  The PCC has undertaken all relevant risk assessments in the light of Covid-19 guidance over the past 6 years, and these are reviewed regularly.  All restrictions have now been lifted.

In colder weather please dress warmly;  the heating is on but the church is a large building.  

Please note that at Communion services we have reintroduced Communion in two kinds, i.e. sharing the chalice.  If you have any problem with this do mention this to the sidesman or churchwarden before the service.  Should you prefer not to receive Communion, do come to the chancel for a blessing, indicating this perhaps by keeping your hands to your sides. 

Everyone is most welcome, but if you have any doubts about coming to join us do please check here or contact John Phillips (01845 577034) beforehand for further information; every effort will be made to accommodate you. Access is not ideal, as the path is steep, but a temporary ramp can be provided for wheelchair entrance to the church; do let us know if you need this in place.

THANK YOU - WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU.
