Hands - Face - Space
Stay safe and think of others.


Please fee free to sit more than two to a  pew if you all feel comfortable doing so. Please maintain alternate row pew seating.

We ask that everybody respects those sitting in a pew  and asks if they are happy if you can join them, or do they want to keep maintaining their distance from others.  

PLEASE feel no obligation to sit closer to anybody than YOU feel comfortable with.

Safe After Church Fellowship

My thanks to Sue, Dorothy and helpers for providing and serving drinks and cake in the church hall last Sunday.  If you can help one Sunday please let them know.
To keep us safe they are wearing masks and gloves while serving.
WE ASK YOU to keep them and each other safe.
1  Please use a hand sanitiser as you enter the hall.
2 Please wear your face mask until you have collected your refreshments.
3  Please use the outdoor space if the weather is suitable.
4  Please maintain physical distance from each other in the hall.
5  Please remove masks for eating and drinking.
We will keep doors and windows open and ensure the hall is safe to use so that we can all feel safe and enjoy fellowship together. Thankyou.
