This service will be held in the Church Hall instead of the main church building and will be restricted in numbers to 40. There will be a booking system in place to ensure we do not exceed our risk assessment.

and we shall confirm you are booked.
During the booking process we shall ask for Track & Trace details, so please be
prepared to give your full name, the full name of anyone accompanying you and a working
telephone number. These details will only be used to call you in the event of a confirmed COVID-19 case or a cancellation of the service due to new government restrictions.
Your details will be destroyed 21 days later in line with our Track & Trace data policy.

Services suspended
Considering the worsening COVID-19 situation,
we have decided to suspend church services for 3 & 10 January.
Should the current high levels of infection remain,
we may further suspend services for the rest of January.
We will keep you informed of this via the church website, email and phone calls.
This will also apply to Wednesday Communion Services in the Old Church.
Our online services will continue, together with 'Thursday Church by Zoom' which recommences on 7 January at 10am, and my daily 'facecasts' on Facebook & YouTube.
Please continue to pray for St Mary's Church and one another during this difficult time..
