Easter Services 2021
Welcome to our North Cheltenham Team Easter Services for 2021
EASTER SERVICES ACROSS THE TEAM
At the time of arranging these services (17th February), we were still waiting to hear how the Government will be bringing us out of lockdown, so we have worked out our Easter services based on the current restrictions. Following the Government’s announcement of the Roadmap out of lockdown, we are still waiting for updates from the Church of England. However, if restrictions do lighten we may be able to offer more. Please see below for which services we are planning to hold in our churches, as well as offering some online. Please note that these may change as time goes on, so please keep a close eye on the website, www.northchelt.org.uk and our weekly News Sheet and social media. WE WILL BE USING EVENTBRITE FOR BOOKING INTO THE MAIN EASTER DAY SERVICES FOR ALL OUR CHURCHES. You will be able to book these yourself, (see below for link) if you don’t have internet access you will be able to contact Kate on 01242 244877 who will do it for you, or speak to your Church Wardens.
While we will do our best to keep these services to the formats that are so loved and well known, there will have to be some differences this year, due to the current restrictions in which we find ourselves. Sadly, we are still unable to sing hymns at services, but we are able to have some organ music, or recorded music for you to listen to.
You will need to wear a mask when attending any of these services (as before), following the mandatory requirement to wear masks when inside Churches. You will only be able to attend a service as a household/support bubble following the ‘Rule of 6’. There should be no mixing or ‘mingling’ between ‘bubbles’ while attending these services.
For the safety and well being of all who will be in attendance I know that we can count on your support and co-operation with these rules to enable us to keep our doors open and continue with services!
Thank you. The North Cheltenham Team Clergy
