It is winter. The time of coughs, infections and colds, etc. COVID also has not gone away they say. The Parish Team advises that you continue to take personal precautions while in the church to avoid infection: use the hand sanitisers provided in the church; avoid coming if you are unwell; wear a mask if you are concerned; and keep your distance if you wish. The Parish Team continues to avoid encouraging the hand shake as a sign of peace, continuing rather with the “Gesture of Peace”.  The Parish Team also continues to spray the church each month to counter Covid and other germ infections.
