Hello from everyone at St Mary's Northchurch and we do hope that everyone is safe and well. A few notices from us regarding how we are adapting to the current situation that we are all facing. For now we will be postponing the Wednesday puzzlers meetings. We will let you know when we are able to re-start this in due course.

From this Sunday at St Mary's the recommended policy is that we ask folk to receive communion in one kind only. The practice of dipping the bread into the wine is not recommended.
