Farewell to Father Keith.
We will be saying goodbye to Father Keith after his final service as Rector, on Sunday, October 3rd. We'll meet for coffee and cake at around midday in St Mary Magdalene's. Please join us, even if you haven't been to services for a while. We'll take care to be covid-safe, so bring a mask if you are able to wear one. Everyone who wants to thank Fr Keith and wish him 'God Speed' will be welcome.

Being the Church during the coronavirus precautions
The Parish Eucharist is celebrated each Sunday,
in The Ascension at 9.30am, and in St Mary Magdalene's at 11am.
A said Eucharist is celebrated every Wednesday at 10am at St Mary Magdalene's, with the church remaining open for private prayer until 12noon.
All other church activities, with the exception of the Community Pantry at The Ascension, continue to be suspended for the time being. Watch out here for any changes.
Although legal restrictions have been lifted, we are still doing our best to make our churches safe places, for ourselves and for each other. We ask you to wear a face mask if you can, and we are still strongly recommended to maintain two meters social separation. Outside, please follow current Covid guidelines, and remain cautious. If you are in any way particularly vulnerable to the effects of Covid-19, you may be better praying at home. Although you are not praying in the church, you will still be praying with the Church.
Whether or not we worship together, we are all still The Church. For those who want to continue to worship God at home with prayer and the weekly Bible readings, or are looking for suggestions of other resources to use at home, these can be found by clicking on 'This Week'.
More information about how we are continuing to be The Church, and to serve our local community, can be found by scrolling further down this page.

Keep us, good Lord,
under the shadow of your mercy
in this time of uncertainty and distress.
Sustain and support the anxious and fearful,
and lift up all who are brought low;
that we may rejoice in your comfort knowing
that nothing can separate us from your love
in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.
