Public Worship - Sunday 5th July

Great News!
As you will no doubt have heard, the suspension of public worship will be lifted from 4th July.

We want to hold Communion in both churches on the first day we open, but don’t know how long the services will last, so, on

Sunday 5th July only rather than having two morning services we will have services at
10.30am          Family Communion at                                  St Augustine’s 
3.00pm            Family Communion at                                  St John’s.
There will then be a service of Holy Communion on

Wednesday 8th July at 10.30am at St John’s, in the body of the church rather than in the Pals’ chapel.
The following week (12th July) will return to the standard pattern, with 9.30 Holy Communion at St John’s and 10.30 Family Service at St Augustine’s.
There will still be restrictions on what we are able to do when we meet. 

• We will not be able to sing, or to use any books or papers.
• We will have to keep 2 metres apart from anyone who is not a member of our household.
• When we celebrate Holy Communion most will just receive the bread, with the priest being the only one to have both bread and wine, and there will be all sorts of precautions over how we administer communion.
• Social distancing rules will mean that we do not have space to run junior church at the moment.
• We will not be able to serve refreshments after church.

So we will be able to meet and celebrate Holy Communion for the first time since March, but it won’t be back to normal yet. Some people may not feel that it is the right time yet to return to church, so we will continue to send out notice sheets and to post a service online, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPN2lVGrGLn_E7ePyUwiV4g ​
