Post Coronavirus, Covid-19.
On July 19 2021 the UK government ended the majority of the mandatory Covid-19 restrictions.
In England, the legal requirement to wear a face covering ended.
But government guidance says it "expects and recommends" the continued wearing of masks and maintaining some social distance in crowded areas.
Seating
In our churches the seats to the rear of the church will be reserved for those who wish to wear a mask and sit socially distanced.
The front seats will be for those who are happy not to wear a mask. Singing is permitted.
We hope this will allow everyone to feel confident about coming to church.
Sanitising, Track and Trace
We will continue to have hand sanitiser available as you enter the church and will continue Track & Trace through at least August.
Should you test positive for Covid-19 and have recently been to one of our church services, please let Rev. Anthony Smith know soonest on 01635 278470 or email burghclere.rector@gmail.com
Your financial support is crucial at this time. If you would like to support our churches financially, please visit our Giving page. Thank You.
For September all services are in Person (see guidelines above); unlikely any will be broadcast on Zoom.
