Being the Church during the coronavirus precautions
The Parish Eucharist is once again being celebrated in St Mary Magdalene's each Sunday at 11am, following Government, Church of England and Diocesan guidelines.
Worship at The Ascension will begin again at 9.30am on Sunday, March 14th.
St Mary Magdalene's will also be open for private prayer on Wednesdays between 10am and 12noon.
All other church activities, with the exception of the Community Pantry at The Ascension, are suspended during lockdown.
Please only attend church for services or prayers as an individual, or in your household group or care bubble, and remember that face masks have to be worn. You should not socialise with people beyond you own party, either in church or outside. 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.
