PUBLIC WORSHIP IS STILL PAUSED... A message from Rev Carol & Canon Peter: Across the Team the PCCs have agreed that Public Worship should be suspended for the time being. It is not easy to know what is best to do in such uncertain and untested situations, but we do feel this is the right response for now. We do not know fully how the new variant of virus is spreading – other than that it spreads much more easily. We will look again at how we can make and keep our churches safe despite the increased transmission; as soon as we feel that we have a sufficiently safe process we will look to restore public worship. We suspect that there will be further developments in the coming weeks and we will make sure we let people know what is happening. We will also be looking at how we can keep in touch with those who are isolated; spiritual resources will be shared online and by post. Please let us know what you think would be helpful or useful. “Church” is people and we can be active in our faith and our care, even if our buildings are not able to be open. We will keep you informed of any updates and hope that you will contact us if you need to.
