Coming back to worship
We are aiming for a return to worship October 11th, 2020 at 10.45am. Hopefully going forwarded services will then be every fortnight. This will be in the form of a 30-35 minutes service with a congregation.
This will be subject to government and Methodist advice and the covid-19 situation at the time to ensure a safe return for you all
What will it be like?
Please be prepared to wear a face covering and sanitise your hands on arrival. Hand sanitiser is provided, and a disposable face covering can be provided if you forget to bring one. Please be aware some people cannot wear a face covering because of underling medical conditions.
Unfortunately, there is no singing of hymns or a time after the service for refreshment or socialising in the building
