Following the news of continuing rising numbers of Covid and the extreme pressure that our hospital staff are under both locally and nationally, along with a letter from our Bishops yesterday asking us to discourage all those who are in the vulnerable groups from attending services in church buildings, it is with a heavy heart that we have decided to cancel our planned ‘in a Church’ service at Lydbrook tomorrow afternoon.

At this difficult time for everyone it seems to us that any risk taken is one risk too many and however careful we are, any gathering at this time carries risk.

We pray urgently for all those involved in frontline care and for all who are ill with the virus, for our leaders in the decisions they must make and for our citizens everywhere that we make act responsible and with thought for others.

Our online services continue, details of which can be found HERE.
