Coming to church for a service:

We need to remind you of some new ways of doing things at this extraordinary time.

As you might expect hand sanitiser will be provided at the back of church.

Generally, a printed order of service and hymn book will be available on the table as you enter the church. Please return them there after the service.

Please leave any offering you may have with you on the plate, on the table, as you enter the Church.

Any visitors will be warmly welcomed and be asked politely to leave their contact details.

Everyone is encouraged to remember to keep 2 metres apart, so please sit with a row between you and the next person.

We are pleased to say that live music and hymns are now being played by our two regular organists – Lindsay (1st Sunday ) and Judy (3rd Sunday).  Sometimes Christian music and hymns will be broadcast through a sound system for us to listen to.  We will be humming along and sometimes singing quietly.

Please take the opportunity to catch up with friends and neighbours outside the Church after the service.

When you have left the church, it will be locked but be available for private prayer after 72 hours. This is a procedure recommended to avoid “deep cleaning” after each service.

We look forward to you joining us for worship at St Mary’s!

With Christian greetings, on behalf of the Church Wardens.
