Greetings!

Following on from the Prime Minister’s recent announcement, I was somewhat amazed that worship in churches is still allowed to take place.

However, following a discussion with the churchwardens of both parishes, we felt the safest option for all would be to cancel all services in both churches at least until the end of January.

This decision was not taken lightly, but there is the online service that I will continue to produce.

The safety and wellbeing of both congregations is very important and we know that many were feeling uncomfortable at attending.

We will let you know towards the end of January if this is to be carried into February.

I hope you understand our decision and that you all continue to remain safe and well.

Paul
