Latest updates.
22nd July 2021
Following the governments lifting the remaining legal covid restrictions we will no longer be operating the booking system. So from Sunday 25th July we will be operating free seating on a first come first served basis. As before the pandemic we expect households will want to sit together but may want to maintain a safe social distance from others in light of a marked rise in the number of infections. In light of various concerns raised we will be continue to practice consideration for our fellow worships through good hygiene procedures. Therefore, for now we will continue to wear face masks, use hand sanitiser on enter and exit, maintain safe social distancing BUT we will be sing again. Please also respect that others may be more cautious than you and give them space and time.
