Advent Poetry Day
​Saturday 4th December Holy Innocents church
Do join us for readings of some favourite poems on the Advent themes of yearning and waiting for the birth of God's new age of justice and peace.  The poems will be interspersed with discussion, shared reflection and silent prayer.  We start at 10am with a simple Eucharist and finish around 2pm - you are free to drop in at any time and stay as long as you can.  If you are with us through lunchtime please bring your own.

​Current pattern of services and covid precautions
Following the removal of legal restrictions, we are taking a cautious approach. Please, if you are coming to church, continue to wear a mask.  You are not obliged to do so, but we would be very grateful if you did.

We are now singing again! We have brought back hymnbooks.  However we would like you to keep your mask on while you sing. We are also changing the way we receive communion, going back to receiving around the sanctuary step, with a maximum of 8 people at a time.  Please keep 1-2m distance from others as you approach and leave.

All other precautions as set out in our opening plan and risk assessment are unchanged - there is a link to the plan below.

Our current service times are:
​Sunday 10.00am
Monday ​7:30pm
Thursday 12 noon

We are continuing to stream the service (details below), for anyone who would prefer to stay at home for now. If you wish to come to church, please use the main front door which will be open and supervised.  You should not need to touch anything - doors or other surfaces.

Please sit at a distance from anyone else who is in church – the chairs have been set out to help us to do this. We have set a safe limit of 70 people but we are within this at the moment so there is no need to book a place.  We would be grateful if you would wear a facemask (unless you have particular reasons for not doing so) and handwashing facilities are available. You will be able to light a candle. For those who do not wish to join us on Sunday in person at the moment, you can watch a stream of the latest service, either on Sunday morning at 10am or at a later time if you prefer.  The latest service leaflet is also available to follow, and previous services are indexed on our archive page.

I hope and pray that we will find our way through this uncertain time, relaxing restrictions at the right pace, while keeping everyone safe.
