Coronavirus guidelines from 3rd May 2022

The Church of England updated its guidelines for churches in respect of Covid-19 on 3rd May 2022 and these are avilable in the document on the link below.

The main change is that the assumption is now that churches will offer Holy Communion as both bread and wine unless there is a compelling reason not to do so. The use of face coverings is recommended in enclosed or crowded spaces.

At St Paul's, we have reintroduced the chalice and, while we invite congregation members to receive Communion, we do not place any obligation on anyone to do so. We also continue to support the wearing of face masks, although this is not an expectation.

Most importantly, all are welcome at St Paul's!

Services to resume

Following the cancellation of our service on 26th June 2022 due to Covid, we plan to resume services on Sunday 3rd July at 10:30am, in the form of Morning Prayer. As a precaution, we would advice churchgoers to wear a face covering during the service.

As always, all will be welcome to join us for Anglican Christian worship at our parish church.

Bible studies

Following the success of our Alpha course which ran from February until Easter, we are currently running a series of Bible study sessions in the church on Wednesday evenings at 7pm from 1st June for 10 weeks.

All are welcome to join us. If you would like to take part, you may let us know via the Contact Us page, or simply come along.

Christian Aid - thank you

Thank you to all who donated to our Christian Aid appeal during the week of 15th-21st May. The sum of £155 was raised and this response, at a time of rising prices and other worthy causes, such as the war in Ukraine, is much appreciated.

No service on 26th June

Important!

Due to Covid, we have, unfortunately, had to cancel our service due to be held on Sunday 26th June 2022.

We hope that we will be able to resume services from 3rd July.

The Queen's Platinum Jubilee

St Paul's Church will be helping to mark the 70th anniversary of the Queen's accession to the throne during the long weekend of 2nd-5th June 2022.

A full peal of the church bells will be rung on Thursday 2nd June between 10am and 1pm. A full peal lasts three hours and this will be significant for St Paul's as there is no record of a full peal ever having been rung in our parish church before.

We will also be planting a tree as part of the Queen's Green Canopy, with a date for this to be decided soon.

Further details of our involvement in this historic occasion in our nation's history will be posted here as soon as they become available.
