Latest updates.
16th November 2020
Next Sunday’s Communion Service will be streamed on YouTube at 10:30 on the 22nd November 2020 and takes as it’s theme “The sheep and the goats” and draws its inspiration from Matthew 25: 31 – 46. The service will be led by our minister Rev. Mark Elvin who is also our preacher this week.
From 5th November onwards we will be making some changes to our services in line with the new government guidelines:
“Places of Worship will be closed, unless they are being used for:
- Funerals
- To broadcast acts of worship
- Individual prayer
- Formal childcare or where part of a school
- Essential voluntary and public services, such as blood donation or food banks
- Other exempted activities such as some support groups.”
Please if you are not able to attend in person join us on line via the link under latest posts.
All are welcome to join us. For those unable or unwilling to join us in person we will be streaming the service live. The link to join the service will be emailed to members. Additionally the link can be accessed via the latest posts so really pretty much as before. To watch the service live follow this link.
