Slowly we are abandoning practices we adopted for good reason during the pandemic.Our services have returned to their pre-Covid length, and we are singing again! Those attending services are now able to remain afterwards for refreshments and conversation, should they wish.We are still exchanging a 'wave' of peace rather than a handshake at The Peace The most recent change has been to cease restricting the wine at holy communion to the minister, but with a different practice at each church. At Ennerdale the chalice will be available to the congregation, but they are at liberty to retain their wafer and dip it in wine instead of drinking from the chalice if they prefer. At Lamplugh the minister will touch the wafer on the wine and place it in the hand of the communicant. At Kirkland the 2nd Sunday communion will follow the same practice as Lamplugh, but the informal communion on the 4th Sunday will use individual glasses.
