TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF SERVICES AND CHURCH CLOSURE

UNFORTUNATELY, DUE TO CURRENT COVID RESTRICTIONS, THE INCREASED INFECTION RATES AND A WISH TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF WORSHIP LEADERS, PARISHIONERS AND VISITORS ALIKE, THE CHURCHWARDENS HAVE TAKEN THE DIFFICULT DECISION TO CLOSE ST JAMES TEMPORARILY. THE SITUATION WILL BE REVIEWED TOWARDS THE END OF THE MONTH AND A DECISION WILL BE MADE REGARDING SERVICES IN MARCH, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT GOVERNMENT AND DIOCESAN ADVICE.
