Update : 3 December 2021
To confirm the information given out in church on Sunday 21st November. At a meeting of the PCC on 17th November the following, which still meet the updated guidelines from CofE House of Bishops dated the 30th November and changes to Government requirements, were agreed:
- We must continue to wear masks (age 11+) when moving around the church and when singing, masks can be removed when sitting.
- We will re-commence serving tea and coffee from the servery at the end of the service, from Sunday 5 December (Toy Service). People serving will be required to wear masks and gloves. If the congregation wishes to have tea or coffee they must wear masks whilst collecting their drinks and then return to a seat before removing masks and drinking. Please remember to sit sensibly. Jill and Joan will be serving, but will be happy to have help, providing people wear masks etc.
- We wish to open the Church again during the day between 10am and 4pm (or before sunset). We have started a rota and have Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday covered already. Can we have volunteers for Monday, Friday and Saturday to open and close please. If you don’t have a key that can be provided. We would like to start this coming Monday 6th December if possible. Let Malcolm Kirk know as soon as possible, please.
- We have now put out at the back of church the collection box for the Oswestry Food Bank; all contributions welcome. Please check with Oswestry Food bank what their priority items are. We will start a rota from January (Susan previously did this) for people once a month to take the items to the Food bank. The rota will be available in church before Christmas for volunteers to sign.
- Also out at the back of the church is the box for collecting stamps. Your Christmas stamps would be gratefully received.
