In order to keep everyone safe there are a few regulations to comply with;

• The Church will open 10 minutes prior to the service to minimise the time spent inside.

• Hand sanitisers must be used on entry to, and exit from, the church.

• You must wear a face mask in church unless you are in an exempt group, or you are the minister or you are a lesson reader. Please ensure it covers your nose, mouth and chin.

• We will always be strictly observing 2 metre physical distancing.

• Test and Trace - you will be asked to confirm your name and contact details. In case it becomes necessary to track and test.

• The collection basket will not be passed around, so you can leave donations in the basket on entering or exiting the church, or speak to the Treasurer about setting up a StandingOrder for monthly payment via a bank account.

• At the end of the service please remain in your pew until directed to leave by a steward and use the sanitiser on the way out.

• Any interaction with others should take place outside, be socially distanced and kept to a minimum.

  We look forward to welcoming you, please don’t let the precautions put you off.
