Coronavirus (Covid 19) Update April 2021
The
restrictions
announced
by
the
Government
permit
church
services
to
take
place
in
all
Tiers,
including
the
current
(3rd)
lockdown,
subject
to
restrictions and safeguards being implemented.
Services re-started on Easter Day Sunday 4th April 2021.
Thereafter
the
intention
is
to
have
two
services
per
month,
normally
on
the
first
and
third
Sundays
in
the
month,
but
there
will
be
some
variation
in
this
pattern
when
there
are
five
Sundays
in
a
month
and
also
when
there
is
a
wedding.
(The
Church
of
England
guidance
is
that
48
hours
has
to
be
left
between
services,
meaning
that
a
service
on
a
Sunday
cannot
take
place
if
there has been a wedding the previous day).
In
order
to
minimise
the
risk
of
transmission
of
Covid
19,
a
number
of
safeguards continue to be required:
●
A booking system will operate for every service because of the very
limited seating available in St Mary's church in order to comply with the
2 metre separation requirement. Please do not attend unless you have
been informed that there is a place for you. If you would like to have
your name entered on the list for a particular Sunday service please
send an email to us.
●
Face coverings will need to be worn.
●
No signing is allowed at present.
●
If you are in the clinically extremely vulnerable category (as defined by
the Government) we are asked to advise you to stay at home.
The current plan for services is as follows, with all services at 10.30 am.
