| We are now (since July 2021) meeting in church at 10.30 a.m. every Sunday, but we would like to continue to meet in as safe a way as possible. For everyones safety we recommend the continued wearing of masks in the church. (But in fact only a few people now wear May 2022) The service will also be relayed into the coffee lounge for anyone who would prefer to sit slightly outside the main church (with or without a mask) but still participate in the service. For those of you who do not yet feel ready to come to church, online services (morning and evening) will continue on our Facebook page and on YouTube. | ||||||||||||||||||||
