You are encouraged to continue to take a Lateral Flow Test before attending church while cases are high in Reading. This is not compulsory, but the more people that are able to do this, the less likely it is that our congregation will spread the Omicron variant around. With many thanks. Church Covid guidance is being reviewed weekly.
Wearing mask in church is optional except during singing.
Live Streaming
As you know, live-streaming of services and recording them for our You Tube channel happens weekly at present. If you'd rather not appear in the film, please talk to Ian Maynard or Simon French at the start of the service and they will be able to indicate to you where to sit to avoid the cameras.

Many many thanks to everyone who supported Traidcraft by buying their Christmas cards and presents from the stall.
Have you ever thought of making purchase of only or mainly Traidcraft tea, coffee or chocolate for your 2022 New Year’s resolution? Shopping with Traidcraft ensures that the interests of farmers, artisans and workers are just as important as other commercial considerations. It also represents a solution to poverty and a model for sustainable development.
