The following are the current Covid guidelines for our Sunday services.We recognise that it is no longer a legal requirement to wear masks, but would ask that you still consider wearing one for the protection of yourself and others.We will still ask you to wear a mask whilst singing.When we celebrate communion we will offer wafers, but not the chalice. (We will be asking each communicant to sanitise their hands before receiving the wafer). Our seating plan allows for individual chairs and pairs of chairs around the outside of church for those wishing to have extra personal space. There is no limit on numbers attending the service. We are allowing extra time in church for conversation and fellowship at the end of the service.We are allowing the freedom and the option to do as little or as much as everyone is comfortable with in terms of socialising and taking communion. We still recommend that during the Peace we share within bubbles and to carry on waving to everyone else. We ask you to respect and to be aware of one another’s feelings on close contact and to feel free to say no.Regarding personal space - we are all at different places and close contact is a delicate issue. Please be aware and respect one another’s wishes ie. hand shakes and hugging.We review these measures regularly and would appreciate any feedback by emailing vicar@stpaulsonline.co.uk or telephoning the church on 01782 598366.Now that the Vicar is able to visit, please let us know if you would like him to call on you. The vaccination programme continues in the hall for the foreseeable future. Please continue to pray for the work that they do and for the whole of the NHS. Thank you.
