In light of the new legislation which came into effect on the 27th Jan 2022:-
Signing in: There is now no legal requirement to sign in before the service although you may scan the NHS QR code if you want to.
Health: If you feel unwell, please reconsider if you should enter the church today.
Hand Hygiene: Do continue to use the hand sanitiser on arrival/departure.
Singing: It is not mandatory to wear a face mask in church or while singing but you may wish to continue the practice for the sake of those around you or where you may feel particularly vulnerable.
Social Distancing: All the pews are now open but please seat yourself at a respectful distance from those around you who are not part of your family group.
Bibles: The pew bibles are back in use.
Sharing the Peace: During Holy Communion services we will stay in our places to share the Peace.
Holy Communion: Will continue to be given in one kind only i.e. wafers, until case numbers have fallen to an acceptable level. One line up (socially distanced) and return to your pew via the Gage Chapel. Receive standing, wafer gently dropped into your hand. See further detailed CofE advice here
On leaving: Please sanitise hands again on leaving.
