This means no Eucharist on Thursdays or Sundays. We are in a strange new world that we will all have to adjust to.

Archbishops call for Church of England to become radically different as public worship put on hold to help stem spread of coronavirus

Hebrews 10:24-25 Although we…

Praying in a Pandemic – a booklet to download

To help people who are in isolation stay connected to church and more importantly connected to God we are doing two main things. Firstly we have launched a daily podcast which you can access in the sermons section of this website or directly at anchor.fm/bcjj.
