Staying well during flu season
As we're now in the season of coughs, colds and flu we're ever more grateful that our services are streamed on YouTube. If you do have symptoms this winter we'd encourage you to join us from the comfort of your own sofa.
If you're due to be covering a rota in church please let us know you'll be staying warm at home and if possible arrange to swap with someone else, but don't worry we'll find a way of covering what needs to be done. Thank you.
