The Church continues to be alive and active.
The UK is still seeing a number of people falling sick with COVID-19. We must distance ourselves from one another and prevent the spread of infection in order to save lives.
From Saturday July 4, places of worship will be able to re-open for public worship – subject to social distancing rules. The Diocese Coronavirus Task Group are waiting for the latest guidance from the government and the Church of England on how this can be achieved in as safe a manner as possible and further advice will be issued once this guidance is available.
