Following HM Government's announcement that the second coronavirus lockdown across England will end on 2nd December and Bedford Borough will be going into Tier 2, the Vicar and Churchwardens will be meeting online to determine our local response, once the detailed guidance from the Church of England has been issued.

We are heartened that public worship and weddings will be able to recommence (with restrictions on number, and other mitigating measures to limit the spread of the coronavirus), in addition to funerals and private prayer, and once we have more information we shall share it online and in our Benefice Facebook Group.

If you would like to receive more information about how to join the online service, please contact the Vicar, Revd Fiona Gibson, on 01234 838145 or email [email protected]

Further detail is available on the "Information during the coronavirus pandemic" page.

Together with our sister parishes of Moggerhanger and Willington we're also on Facebook - you can find us here

The parish of Cople is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer, (PSO). The Diocese of St. Albans safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) who advise our PSOs. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the DSA. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority Children or Adults Services.

Further information can be found on the Safeguarding page which you can access via the link on the menu on the home page.
