If you are joining us in person, there is no longer any need to book in advance, but we do ask that you try to maintain a safe distance between yourself / your family group and other worshippers while in the church sanctuary.
You will still need to wear a face covering throughout the service, use the hand sanitiser provided on arrival and departure and leave your contact details for Test & Protect.
Hymn-sheets will be provided but you are very welcome to bring your own copy of the CH4 hymn-book if you have one.
