All clubs and groups such as Messy Church, Messy Café Church, Noodles with Doodles, Art Café, Hope Café, Café Church, Lent Discussion Groups, Mothers’ Prayers will also cease until further notice as we try to help stem the spread of the virus.

All church meetings such as APCMs and PCC meetings should be cancelled until further notice. Where possible “meetings” should be held via conference call or email to gain consensus if decisions have to be made. 

Weddings

As these are likely to be sizable gathering, couples should consider postponing their wedding. However if the wedding cannot be postponed, it should be limited to the bare minimum of witnesses with a celebration at the later date Please speak to Rev’d Keith or Rev’d Helen for further advice.

Baptisms

All Christenings will be postponed until after the crisis, except for emergency baptisms.
