Covid Notices
There has been no change this week in relation to advice to Churches-
We are grateful for the way in everyone has so graciously lived with the “new way of being”
We are still strongly advised to wear masks in worship but there are valid exemptions for some individuals and groups not to wear a face covering in these settings. In particular, those who are leading services or events in a place of worship, and those who assist them (for instance by reading, preaching, or leading prayer) do not always need to wear a face covering, although one should be worn especially if physical distancing cannot be maintained (i.e. distributing consumables). This exemption does not apply to worshippers, who should wear face coverings consistent with the requirements for any other public space.
I am sure I don’t need to remind you the 5 K’s for coming  church
