New Covid-19 guidelines for Church Services from 25th July

From Sunday 25th July 2021 we will be making a few small changes to the way we do things. There has been a relaxation of the regulations around social distancing and the wearing of face coverings, however the Church of England continues to recommend caution and so we will comply with the latest guidelines by making changes to the way we do things slowly and carefully. In terms of Sunday services we will continue the pattern of 8.30am and 10.00am services at Henfield each week and the 11.15am services will alternate between Shermanbury and Woodmancote.

Those wishing to attend a service will no longer need to contact the Church office but we will continue to ask people for theit contact details on arrival in church for track and trace purposes. There will be a space in each church allocated for those who still wish to socially distance fom others. Face Coverings still need to be worn, but we will slowly begin to reintroduce singing, and people will also need to keep their face covering on when singing hymns. Over the next few weeks we will also try to reintroduce refreshments after the service (drinks only) In all these things we will continue to consider the most vulnerable and we will ask people to continue to sanitise their hands on arriving and leaving all our churches. We look forward to welcoming more people back to our services over the coming weeks.
