- Wash your hands before entering or use the hand sanitiser if you have touched anything since washing.

- 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.
