Clarification regarding procedure for the opening of churches after the 4th July for services
Dear Parishioner,
It was great to hear that restrictions are going to be further lifted, including the opening of churches for services, which we are greatly looking forward to. Before we open our churches again however there are a few steps we need to get through. We have been advised by both the national and diocesan authorities that we should not open until:
1. We have received the government’s advice
2. We have received guidance from both the Church of England and the Diocese as to how churches should interpret such advice
3. Based on this we need to carry out a risk assessment
4. Following which discussion needs to take place with the PCC on all the relevant issues.
5. And only after this should we begin Sunday worship
We are now awaiting guidance from the Church of England and the Diocese so we can begin this process.
As Bishop Steven said in his recent letter, this all needs to be done carefully and properly, and we should resist the temptation to rush back. We will update you as we make progress towards opening.

Church Tower Project Completed
A BIG thank you to the Heritage Lottery Fund, to all our other grant givers and our individual supporters for all the money raised to enable this project to happen.
The craftsmanship is absolutely fabulous and the tower and spire look truly amazing now that the wok is complete. Click here to see the the Church Tower Project photo album.
