While face coverings are no longer mandatory, we are encouraging people to continue to wear them in church. Social distancing measures have been relaxed but we are asking people to be careful around one another. The side aisles are for those who would particularly like to keep distance. The Peace can be shared just where you are but please respect the wishes of those who do not wish to touch.  As many members within one body we are called to be responsible to and for one another, respecting the more vulnerable whose suffering is our suffering (1 Cor 12:12-27).

We are singing (with masks on) and are hoping to get a fuller choir going soon.

We are also active online with Sunday afternoon worship on Zoom. Details in the "Services and events" section of the website.  We also have a number of WhatsApp groups. 

The Church is currently in vacancy. Please initially contact the Churchwarden, Corinne Treacy on 0775 2640151 or email if you want to join us on Zoom or WhatsApp, need to talk to a member of the Ministry Team, want prayer, or for any other reason.
