It is wonderful to open the doors of St Alphege and St Helen’s for services, albeit with reduced numbers and booking systems in place. Private individual prayer at the beautiful Chapel of St Michael’s every Wednesday between 9.30 to noon, limited to 4 at a time. Starting on Thursday 30th July, St Alphege will also be open for private prayer 9.30-12 noon throughout August. Access for 10 people at a time.
Weddings, baptisms, recitals and 800th year events remain suspended at the moment. Funerals can now take place with reduced numbers. Memorials will gladly be organised at a later date.
