Face Masks
As many of you will have seen, the government has announced the relaxation of ‘Plan B’
measures from Thursday 27th January. However, the government has advised that we
continue to wear face masks in crowded and indoor spaces. Our approach in our 3
churches in this regard has always been based upon kindness to those we are
worshipping alongside. Therefore, I encourage you, unless there are medical grounds for
not doing so, to persist with the wearing of face masks in church in kindness to those
around us. Thank you as ever for your cooperation in keeping us all safe. Gregg
