Following the Prime Minister’s announcement of 23rd March, the Archbishops have written to clergy in support of the measures, requiring that churches must now close both for private worship and public services.

Our church buildings are therefore now closed for public worship,  private prayer and all other meetings and activities except for vital community services until further notice.

Sorry but St Mary’s is closed!

The Coronavirus situation and advice seems to be changing almost hourly!  The latest sweeping restrictions are aimed at slowing the spread of the virus, and as part of that all Church of England buildings will be closed until further notice.

The life of the Church goes on, but in a different way.  Many times the people of God have had to adjust to catastrophe, challenge and new situations.  Each time people have found that God has been with them throughout, and they have discovered new things, found creative ways of being, deepened the resources of their souls.

May this be your experience too.

God’s richest blessings on you and yours at this difficult time.

Stay safe.

Fr Andrew
