Guidance for coming to church

This page describes our Covid precautions for church services. For everyone’s safety we are continuing with several Covid precautions, including distanced seating.

As of January 2023 we have resumed normal arrangements for distribution of communion. Communicants come forward to the chancel steps to receive the bread and wine. All bread is gluten-free; the wine is non-alcoholic and served in individual glasses. The church services page indicates when the service will include communion.


Before you come

If you have any symptoms of Covid-19, please do not come to church.

When you arrive

Chairs are arranged singly and in groups. If you come alone, please sit on a single chair, leaving groups of chairs for people from the same household.

An order of service will be on your chair. Hymn books and Bibles are in the racks behind the chairs (please don't use books from the chair in front of you).

What to expect

The Young Explorers meet in the Lower Park Hall and are not coming into the church.

The crèche is not currently operating.

You are invited to place your offering in the box near the door when you arrive or as you leave.

After the service

Please take your order of service with you, and replace books in the rack behind your chair.
