Coronavirus/Covid-19
There has been a lot of 'information' circulating on email and 'social media' recently with advice on avoiding or even treating
Coronavirus/Covid19. Most of this is unreliable and/or untrue even though it may purport to be from an authoritative source.
We strongly recommend everyone to follow ONLY the
guidelines and advice set out by the government.
Primarily: WASH YOUR HANDS and STAY AT HOME.
IMPORTANT NEW NOTICE 17th March 2020
All Chaplaincy services are CANCELLED for the next month.
ALL Chaplaincy gatherings (e.g Homegroups and Prayer Meetings) must also be suspended
A 'word' from the Chaplaincy wardens on our services during the current crisis and the organisation of the Chaplaincy during the interregnum is available here
Due to the challenging times in which we find ourselves, the layout of the Homepage has been changed a little to allow more space for
important notices and information.
The icons which previously appeared below for items such as Sermons and Services can all be accessed from the menu at the top of the page.
The Chaplaincy Facebook page where 'virtual services' and other
social communications can be found can be accessed by clicking
the Facebook logo above.
