Worship Restrictions and Covid-19 Pandemic, an Update:
Over the summer, we will re-introduce hymns on Sunday for the congregation, something we have missed so much over the past 18 months. From 20 July, the capacity at services will be increased to 50% and booking for Sunday services will no longer be needed. Hand sanitizers will still be available for use around the building and mask-wearing will be strongly encouraged.

We regularly livestream services and have pre-recorded services available on our YouTube channel.
