While members of the congregation can attend service masked or unmasked at their discretion, we appeal for sensitivity, understanding and love for neighbour, whichever option is chosen.
Pews will continue to be taped off to facilitate a degree of distancing. If anyone feels uncomfortable or concerned about where they are sitting in church, there will be a safer area, to back or sides, where they can choose to sit.
Hymns may be sung in St John’s and St Peter’s. St Thomas’ would wish to defer this towards end of August. In any case we are likely to sing the final hymn outside the churches, weather permitting.
Holy Communion shall continue to be given in one kind only, as we have been doing.
In many things within the services the old maxim pertains: All may, some shall, none must. But let everything be done in charity.
Thank you for your help and understanding as we find a way forward.
