Visit our Worshipping back in Church page for more info.
Public Communal Worship is due to recommence after Wednesday 2nd December in church buildings. We are holding a Sunday Communion service for the whole benefice in one church each week from 6th December and on line.
Services will start at 9.30am unless otherwise advertised. I will either broadcast live or provide recorded services online.
Details will be published here and in our weekly email. Subscribe to our mailing list on our website www.quintetchurches.com.
As
social distancing measures mean that seating for indoor services are limited,
please do let us know if you plan to attend by emailing come2church@quintetchurches.com
At Christmas it will be even more important to confirm your seats in advance and we'll put more details of how to do this online vert soon.

Churces are also open for private prayer in the week. Prayer stations with resources and palm crosses are available in those churches, do pick one up. You can of course email us with your prayers using this link.
If you plan to attend a church for Private Prayer
- Only attend if you are sure you are well and have not been in contact with anyone with Covid-19 in the past 14 days.
- Wash your hands before entering or use the hand sanitiser if you have touched anything since washing.
- Maintain a safe social distance (2m) between household groups and keep left, giving priority to people leaving the church building.
- A maximum of 10 people in each church in this benefice.
- Place a pebble in the basket provided to keep a tally of visitors.
- Where provided, take a post it note to leave in the pew where you sit t pray. Do not sit where someone else has left a post it note.
- If you write a prayer, please use your own pen.
- Only touch what is essential. do not touch books. You may take free prayer resources left for you.
- It is suggested you sanitise your hands again on exit and thoroughly wash hands again when you arrive home.
- We invite you to participate in our own simple 'Track and Trace' system if you want to help us keep visitors informed of their risk of infection should you or they subsequently fall ill. Details are posted in the church where available.
Please note, not all churches in the UK are able to open.
I will be saying prayers and celebrating eucharist from home, usually live streamed, on YouTube or Zoom. Do join me. I also encourage everyone to set aside the time you would normally be at church, and maybe a little extra time, to offer prayers wherever you are.
