With the end of Lockdown 2, St Helen’s Church are excited to welcome you back to church on Sunday now that public worship can resume.  We are also very excited that congregational singing is permitted again – providing we are outdoors.  So, to make the most of this we will hold two outdoor carol services on Christmas Eve, see below for details.

All are welcome to join us in St Helen’s Church at 10am for our Parish Communion service. Thanks to all your generous support, we have purchased the technology to ‘Live-stream’ services from church to our YouTube Channel.   You can watch at 10am tomorrow morning – or any time afterwards. Click the link here to view the service.
