The appearance of Covid last year changed life for many of us, work, socialising, and even attending church. And then we had that long period of normality when it seems most things were pretty much back to normal. But now the Delta variant has changed things again and it seems that we may never go back to life as it used to be. We are going to need to learn to live with Covid and some of the restrictions to life that will bring.
Long term we still don’t know what that will look like for us or the rest of the world however it does seem that vaccination will play an important part in keeping us and those we love safe, so can we encourage you to consider getting vaccinated, not just for yourself but to keep others, especially the vulnerable safe. If you have concerns about the vaccine then please talk to a medical professional you trust for advice.
We are meeting this week and yes there will be music and singing. Please note the following requirements put in place by our leadership team.
All attendees are required to record their presence – either by app or sign-in (This is a legal requirement)
Recommendations that all people wear masks. (We have been advised that those speaking at the front can remove their mask to speak)

Mainly Music - Closed due to lockdown. We hope to reopen after the school holidays 20 October. Normally meets Wednesday’s from 10.00am. This programme is a fun way for parents and their children to spend quality time together based around music and movement. It is an opportunity for us as a church to connect with and offer something back to the community of which we are a part. It’s also a way for us to demonstrate care, concern and support for those with young children.
