As our Sunday worship continues, we would gently encourage all who are joining us to continue with the wearing of face coverings.
For those who are still feeling cautious, there will be space for social distancing, and hand sanitizer will remain available.
We will of course continue to keep all this under review and will adapt accordingly.
