With due consideration to national guidance from the government and the Church of England in the meantime, I'm pleased to say that we are going ahead with services in-person in church. We must, of course, leave the decision whether or not to attend to you and your judgment. While it is generally good to be with other people, we realise that this is not comfortable or sensible for everyone at present, and we continue to pray for and ask God's blessing on all in our parishes, not just those we see in person. Two important considerations: Firstly, in common with all public indoor spaces, we ask that you do not attend an event if you are feeling unwell or experiencing any of the recognised symptoms of COVID.
As the virus spreads successfully between people without symptoms, please also consider taking a lateral flow test before attending a service, especially if you have been in contact with people beyond your household in recent
days.
We will continue to ensure good ventilation in our churches, so please come prepared for draughts. Three Rivers Group Car Scheme A reminder that the Three Rivers Group Car Scheme exists to provide lifts to medical and other appointments when other transport is not available. Some drivers are also offering their services for free to Ukrainians being hosted by families locally. So if you know of someone who needs transport for aparticular purpose, please do pass on the number: 07549 892322 Isleham Coffee Morning -Tuesdays 10am-12noon The Tuesday morning coffee and bacon butty crew will be back at the St Andrew’s Social Centre from 11 Jan, from 10am-12 noon.

Weekly notice sheet by email We still distribute a copy of the weekly notice sheet by email every Sunday to those who want to keep up-to-date with what's happening in the Group, even when they can't get to church. Please let Revd Steve know if you'd like to receive a copy.
