Dear All Saints and St Marys
Well – it’s certainly been a week of change and quick thinking. We have been working hard at what the best way forward is in terms of opening for private prayer for both churches and also now planning for public worship again.
Currently All Saints will open for private prayer on SAT 27th – 2pm-5pm. We will also look to for a morning mid week and will let you know asap.
St Marys will look to open for private prayer on Sunday July 5th from 5pm-7pm and Thursday 9th from 10am-12. This will be the pattern until we can resume a pattern of worship.
When we are able to then resume Sunday worship in church we will need to revise and adjust these times in line with the Covid 19 Guidance.
Complicated! I know.
However, there are things to celebrate in this. The opening of the churches is a great opportunity. A chance for people to pray, a chance for people just to come and look around the churches so that they might know what that looks like when we do return for worship. There will be people in the churches to help guide or explain things when we are open.
Also – A heads up about some fundraising fairs
