The Government has announced that Hertfordshire will move to the new ‘Stay at Home’ level (Tier 4) of local COVID alert categories on Saturday 19 December 2020. What does this mean for us at St Helen’s Church?
- Our 10am Services on Sunday will continue. (This Sunday it will not be a Communion Service as Richard is self-isolating having been in contact with someone who has Coronavirus.)
- Please come alone or with your household, or support bubble. Socialising and attending with others is not permitted. Please observe guidelines (wear a mask, social distancing and hand hygiene) when in church. Make sure you are always 2m away from people not in your household or support bubble.
- However, we encourage you to worship and pray using the resources we make available online – including our live-stream and recorded services.
- St Helen’s Church will remain open for private prayer.
- Coffee in the Chancel will remain closed.
CHRISTMAS SERVICES
We have reviewed the services which we had planned and have made the difficult decision to reduce our schedule. We felt that this was necessary to minimise the risk of infection in the village.
The following is the updated schedule of Christmas services:
Sunday 20th December: Service of Lessons and Carols at 6pm.
This service will be filmed “behind closed doors” – even if you had booked a ticket, please do not attend.
Christmas Eve 24th December: Outdoor Crib and Carol Service at 4pm
This event is cancelled
Look out for a special online Nativity film later this week!
Christmas Eve 24th December: Outdoor Carols for All at 6pm
This event is cancelled
Christmas Day 25th December: Christmas Communion at 8am
Christmas Day 25th December: Christmas Communion at 10am
