We have received notification from the Church of England that all public worship is cancelled until further notice. This means that we will be looking into other ways of being and doing church in these next weeks so that we continue to worship as God’s people in Ringland even if we can’t physically be together. Please continue to look at our Facebook page or this website page for further updates.The church building continues to be open each day from 10am - 3pm for those who wish for quiet, reflective space.
