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 9.30am to noon, limited to 4 at a time. St Alphege is open for private prayer 9.30am to 12 noon every Thursday. Access is for up to 10 people at a time, however usual numbers are between 3/4.
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.
