WORSHIP IN/OUTSIDE CHURCHES:

We currently hold two services each Sunday, one on Zoom at 09:30 and one outside/inside one of the churches at 11:00.  The last regular 9.30 live zoom service is planned for Sunday 18th July, after which we hope a rota of services in church will resume. There may be occasional zoom services at other times after that.

       To enable us to maintain covid-safe distancing, please book a place for any service at a church by emailing services@bartonbenefice.org.uk at least 24 hours in advance.

​

If you, or anyone you know, need help – spiritual or practical (or with zoom!) – please get in touch with one of the Ministry Team or your churchwarden.  Contact details are on the Who's Who page.  It is still so important for us all to stay connected, so please do not hesitate to get in touch if you feel in need of extra support.
