Why do we still have a Christmas picture heading our website?
The Church's season of Christmas begins on Christmas Eve and doesn't finish until Candlemass on February 2nd. The blessing of Jesus' birth never ends!
The parish team are currently working from home.

While we look forward to the appointment of a new Rector, our pattern of Sunday services will vary from week to week, depending on whether we have a visiting priest to celebrate the Eucharist with us. Please click on THIS WEEK for details.
Being the Church during the coronavirus precautions
There will be a service each Sunday, in The Ascension at 9.30am, and in St Mary Magdalene's at 11am, and also every Wednesday at 10am at St Mary Magdalene's, with the church remaining open for private prayer until 12noon.
Some legal restrictions have returned.
Once again, we have to ask you to wear a face mask in church, unless you are exempt - though you can remove it to sing.
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.
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.
