Welcome

Church Services

The church building is open for Sunday Services.

New Arrangements from 19 July You may be aware that there are new freedoms from Covid-19. . .

We are aiming to keep our Sunday morning arrangements as safe as possibly, given local Covid-19 rates, by keeping our existing procedures in place.

Please note:

• We strongly encourage you, as an expression of Christian respect and love for others, to continue to wear a face mask during church Services (unless you have a medical or psychological reason not to do so).
• We are now going to start singing (quietly, with masks) one hymn each service, plus the sung liturgy at Holy Communion.
• You are now allowed to sit next to others. But please only sit next to other people where you have arranged this in advance.
• We will continue to offer the bread, only, at Holy Communion.
• Signing in is NOT compulsory.
• Full details can be found in our revised Risk Assessment

The Notices

• The midweek service of Holy Communion at St. Thomas' takes place every Wednesday at 10:30 am. All welcome.
• English Classes have now finished for the Summer. They will restart in September.
• Thanks to the Duchy of Lancaster Benevolent Fund for awarding us a grant of £600 to make efficiencies to the Heating System. Well done to Cath for a successful grant application!
• Would you like to serve on one of our PCC Working Groups: Social Activities, Church Fabric, Youth, or Finance. Please see Lynne!
• Church Collection As usual we cannot have a collection in church. Church funds continue to be low! Please feel free to leave a collection on the plate as you leave church. Thank you for your generosity.
• Picnic Weather permitting, we hope to organise a picnic, with St. Thomas' church members, on Sunday 29 August, after Church, in Alexandra Park.
