Caring for You During the Coronavirus Pandemic...

Covid-19 has changed our lives, and will continue to have a lasting impact on the shape of our world for a considerable time, and the church is no different to the countless other areas of our lives affected.

• All legal requirements for social distancing and masks have been lifted - but you are encouraged to remain vigilant as cases rise rapidly
  

• Get your vaccinations as soon as you are offered them
  
• WASH YOUR HANDS FREQUENTLY
• HANDS - FACE - SPACE still advised in indoor and crowded spaces
  

Trusted information sources...
