I write to let you know that St. Peter's will be live streaming our services on our Facebook Group, the church will reopen for public worship from Ash Wednesday 17th February. Numbers will be kept to a maximum of 50 in our congregation. This decision was endorsed by our District Church Council on Wednesday 10th February following change in advice from Bishop +Will, ESCC Rother and Wealden District Councils
Please check St. Michael’s website for details of services there, link above. Other churches may also be open
We are doing our part to protect the community, we will be re-
We are allowed to continue to open for private prayer but with the following enhanced safety measures and subject to the continued help from our church watchers.
- Only silent individual prayer -
no audible words or singing - No prayer groups or pre-
arranged meetings - Only St. Richards Chapel will be used -
no access to "look around" - A one-
way system shall be observed - Numbers in church will be limited to 4 during private prayer at any one time and a minimum of 2 metres separation between people.
Church watchers will advise but not enforce the rules and we will review the situation weekly. We will hopefully reopen fully in the not too distant future, but may close if it is reported that the above guidance is being ignored.
For those who would like to see our Service of Nine Lessons and Carols that took place last Sunday you can see it here
