In view of the dramatic increase of covid-19 infections and the consequent need to safeguard our people especially those vulnerable, the Ministry Team considers that the safety and protection of our people are more important now than having services as previously planned in the churches.

The Ministry Team, therefore, proposes to continue holding on-line services on ‘zoom’ at 10.30 am every Sunday morning in January and, probably, February as well. However, as the on line ‘zoom’ services are expected to be led from the Ingham church, anyone wishing to attend the service physically in church may book a place in church by calling the Churchwarden (Mrs Ann Duggan) on 01522 730008 or the PCC Secretary (Mr John Moore) on 07974 076 056. This enables any who prefer to be in a live church service to do so while maintaining the safety of those who prefer to maintain social distance. 

The plan is as follows:

Family Services

• 3^rd January – Scampton – Recorded Service (scamptonchurch.org)
• 17^th January & 21^st February – 10.30 am – All Saints Church Ingham

Every Sunday (including January 3^rd)

• at 10.30 am On-line ‘zoom’ service from Ingham church with possibility for those wishing to attend physically in church except on third Sunday

NB: The PCC Standing Committee will review this plan on 12^th January 2021
