When attending services, please follow the Government’s guidance, which includes:

• If you or a member of your household is unwell stay at home.

• Practice physical distancing (at least 2 metres).

• Avoid unnecessary contact.

• Wear a face covering. Please note that face coverings are now mandatory in places of worship, unless you have an exemption. The wearing of face coverings is mainly intended to protect other people, not the wearer, from coronavirus COVID-19 and that they are not a replacement for physical distancing and regular hand washing.
