BENEFICE CORONAVIRUS UPDATE - 7/4/21:
St Andrew's are pleased to announce that we have re-opened for usual Sunday worship at the times of 8am and 10.30am. From the beginning of May the Wednesday 10:30 service will also return. We ask all who attend to adhere to the restrictions of distancing, face masks and chatting outdoors - even if they have received a vaccination.
Wednesdays will still remain open for private prayer between 10-12pm until further notice.
St Peter's is delighted to re-open every day for private prayer on Mondays-Saturdays 9am-4pm and Sundays 12pm-4pm from 29th March. Please use a face mask and sanitise your hands on entry.
Worship is still provided online for St Peter's and those not yet ready to return.
This is in the form of a live streamed Eucharist at 10.30am each Sunday.
​
We will resume public worship at St Peter's on the 18th April. Should you wish to return to physical services we ask if you can indicate your preferred time (9:30 or 11:00) here so that we have an idea of numbers. You do not need to do this if you would like to attend at 8am. The 5:30pm Saturday service will also recommence at the start of May.
God bless you all and please keep safe in these extraordinary and difficult times.
