Covid-19 

covid-19response

In light of the Omicron variant we still need to continue to take care, and be aware that many people remain vulnerable. So, please:

  • do not come to church if you feel ill or display any symptoms of COVID (details here)
  • maintain a safe distance with others (at least 1 metre) – the chairs in the church are still positioned at a social distance
  • keep your mask on while moving around and when singing
  • wash your hands regularly and use the disinfectant provided
  • consider taking a lateral flow test before attending worship to protect others (you can get free ones here)

We shall continue to keep the building ventilated as much as we can. Please do be aware of the needs of others and be kind to everyone.

You can also still join in with Methodist worship via Zoom if you would prefer.  Please click here for more information.

The Methodist Church joins with people of all faiths in praying for those who have been affected by the pandemic, and for those who are working so hard to care for those affected. 

The President of the Methodist Conference has written a prayer for this time:

Loving God
If we are ill, strengthen us
If we are tired
Fortify our spirits
If we are anxious
Help us to consider the lilies of the field and the birds of the air.
Help us not to stockpile treasures from supermarkets in the barns of our larders!
Don't let fear cause us to overlook the needs of others more vulnerable than ourselves
Fix our eyes on your story
And our hearts on your grace
Help us always to hold fast to the good and see the good in others.
And remember there is just one world, one hope,
One everlasting love, with baskets of bread for everyone.
In Jesus we make our prayer,
The one who suffered, died and was raised to new life,

In whom we trust, these days and all days. Amen.
