Covid guidelines when coming to church
We ask everyone to sanitise their hands on arrival and to wear a face covering when entering the church, moving around inside (such as coming up to receive Communion), when leaving the building, and while singing hymns. This is unless you have a medical
exemption or are under the age of 11.
Face coverings can be removed while seated; those who wish to, can keep their face covering on. We will ensure that everyone wishing to be seated socially distanced in church is able to.
