Covid19 Latest Update June 2021
We are back in our building!
As the government continues to gradually lift restrictions we are now holding our weekly Sunday morning services, and once a month an evening service, back in the building. However, for those who are unable to attend the services we will be continuing to stream them live on YouTube. To enable us to maintain a Covid19 secure environment including social distancing please book your free ticket(s) via the blue buttons below. Currently the booking system is only in place up to and including 20th June, in anticipation of the lifting of all restrictions on the 21st June. However, should the government decide to postpone this, the booking system will be extended accordingly. Look out for further updates in line with subsequent government announcements!
