Everyone is welcome to come and sit in the quiet, beauty of the church building to take time out, reflect, pray, and find stillness and peace whether for 5 minutes, 15 or even 25.If you'd like to light a candle as a way of offering someone or something to God then that's possible too using single use tapers.Please wear a face covering. You will be expected to sanitise your hands on arrival and as you leave. Physical distancing is important too so certain seats are designated which mean that no one will come and sit too near to you and you will know where to sit to keep your distance too.
