Reopening for public worship

From 4th July it has become possible to reopen our church buildings for public worship.  We have chosen to implement this in a cautious manner in line with national guidelines.

Below can be found our risk assessment documents, Holy Communion protocols and the national guidance which informed these. These are presented in the interests of giving worshippers and visitors for private prayer confidence when they attend our churches.

Currently only All Saints’, Bramham and St Mary’s, Boston Spa are open regularly for private prayer, and only St Mary’s, Boston Spa has been reopened for weekly acts of worship (Wednesday 10am Holy Communion services).
