We have received the following from the Diocese:<\/p>
<\/p>
\u201cIn light of the Government guidance around non-essential contact, the Archbishops of Canterbury and York have issued advice that public worship is suspended until further notice. Churches should be open where possible but with no public worship services taking place. Prayers can be said by clergy and ministers on behalf of everyone and churches should consider ways of sharing this with the wider community.\u201d<\/p>
Unfortunately we will therefore have to suspend services at St Martins for the foreseeable future. The church will remain open every day and everyone is welcome to come in for private prayer or just to be quiet. If anyone needs help in any way (practical or spiritual) from either the church community or Adrian please contact us and we will do all we can to help. Our contact numbers are:<\/p>
Adrian Bell (parish priest) <\/p>
