Attending Church from Sunday 6th June
From Sunday 6th June everyone who has asked to attend Church in person will be able to attend each week, the bi-weekly bubbles will no longer apply. The same guidelines will be in place but we are now able to have more people in the church building.

This also means we will know what space we have for any visitors who want to attend Continue reading
