 ​COVID-19 update - January 2021

Weekly worship 2021

Sunday morning Mass has regrettably had to be suspended until further notice. Wednesday morning 10 am Mass is also suspended until further notice.

At such time as services are able to resume the following guidelines must be observed:  
  • The church will be open only for worship and must not become a place in which households mix.  Please do not arrive too early or remain in church after Mass.
  •  There must be no gatherings for conversation either inside the church building or churchyard. 
  • Cleanse hands on arrival at church and on leaving.
  • Sign the attendance sheet. 
  • Wear face coverings, at all times, which fully cover the nose and mouth.
  • Strictly observe social distancing. 
  • Do not attend if you or anyone in your household have COVID19 symptoms;
  • It is recognised that people must all make an assessment of their own situations, but we would urge those who are in vulnerable groups, and especially those who have been advised to shield, to heed the advice they are given. 
  • It is incumbent on all of us to be diligent in our observation of these guidelines for safety in church, if we cannot do this it will call into question the possibility of worship in church at this time.

Our church community continues to support the local food bank. Prayers are offered at every service for individuals in need and the local community. If we can help you in any way please contact one of the Church Wardens - M. Colebourne 01255 565959 or J. Rosier - 01255 676595. 

Celebration Songs of Praise

Once we are able to resume normal worship we plan to hold a celebratory Songs of Praise. The whole community will be welcome to join us as we celebrate the end of coronavirus restrictions. We hope to have those who have worked at the front line talk briefly about their experiences in this service of thanksgiving.  Please watch this space for updates.

Worship and Services

At St Michael's we seek to offer worship which is both dignified and accessible together with teaching which is faithful both to Scripture and Tradition. Everyone is welcome.
