We are opening up St Andrew’s Church very slowly, and in a limited way
Upcoming Services:
- Sunday 16th August, St. Andrew’s, 9am Holy Communion
- Sunday 23rd August, St. Bartholomew’s, 5pm Holy Communion
- Sunday 30th August, St. Andrew’s, 6pm Evening Service
For all services, enter via the North Door, not the Centre doors, and maintain two metres distances. Please do not come if you are feeling unwell. Currently, there will be NO toilets available; hand sanitiser will be provided in the North Porch; seating can be in households or bubbles. Also a Track & Trace list will be collated at each service, therefore please be prepared to share your details.
From 8th August, face coverings will be required by law to be worn in a greater number of public indoor settings including places of worship, museums, galleries, cinemas and public libraries. Therefore, when attending a church service a face covering must be worn unless you are exempt from doing so. Please be mindful that there are valid exemptions for some individuals and groups to not wear a face covering in these settings
Thank you.
Exemptions: you do not need to wear a face covering if you have a legitimate reason not to. This includes:
- young children under the age of 11
- not being able to put on, wear or remove a face covering because of a physical or mental illness or impairment, or disability
- if putting on, wearing or removing a face covering will cause you severe distress
- if you are travelling with or providing assistance to someone who relies on lip reading to communicate
- to avoid harm or injury, or the risk of harm or injury, to yourself or others
- to avoid injury, or to escape a risk of harm, and you do not have a face covering with you
- to eat or drink, but only if you need to
- to take medication
- if a police officer or other official requests you remove your face covering
