Church_news From_the_Vicar

In light of the Government guidance around non-essential contact, the Archbishops of Canterbury and York have issued advice that public worship is suspended until further notice. We are following this advice. This includes the Lent course.

We will seek to keep the church open during the day and Priscilla will post worship material and reflections on the website regularly. Further updates will be available through the website and Facebook and Twitter. Please check our Corona Update page for more information. 

The Archbishops have published an article today calling for a National Day of Prayer and Action on Sunday 22nd March in response to the coronavirus pandemic. You can read the full text of the article here.
