Covid-19 Update
26 January 2022
You will know that, as of today, the additional restrictions introduced by Government as Plan B have been rescinded. The law states that the incumbent has sole responsibility for the application of guidance in each local situation. The Church of England continues to recommend a degree of caution at a time when, though the incidence of the virus seems to be falling, it remains high in many places. This is certainly true in Cambridge. So please do note the following:
The clergy will continue to take lateral flow tests before services, and we invite you to do the same.
Face-coverings are not mandatory, but we invite you to consider wearing one.
Please continue to use hand-sanitiser.
The building will remain well-ventilated, so you may wish to wear an extra layer or two at the moment.
The NHS Track and Trace programme is still available, and recommended.
You may sit in the place of your choice in the nave and side aisles, but please be gracious and sensitive to others’ need for space.
The Peace should be shared without contact unless you are sure that a physical sign of peace will be welcome.
Collections will not be taken, so please give generously via the collection boxes, or by Standing Order/Direct Debit. We shall be introducing a new way of giving, the Parish Giving Scheme, in March.
Holy Communion will continue to be administered in one kind at least until Easter.
Refreshments will be served in Michaelhouse after the 10am Sunday morning service from February 6th (save for February 13th, the University Sermon) – please do not crowd into the chancel over coffee, but use the space wisely.
These decisions will continue to remain under review, and changes in national guidance or a rise in local cases may necessitate change in the future.
Thank you for your generosity, understanding, and patience.
Canon Adrian Daffern, Vicar
