The 9.30am Parish Eucharist service returned to the Abbey on Sunday 12 July. We were encouraged and delighted to welcome members of the Abbey community for the first time since March and to share our worship together with them and those watching online.

You have probably heard by now that from 4th July churches are permitted to reintroduce live worship. We have now received clarification from the Church of England regarding the measures that we must put in place to ensure the safety of those attending and are planning to hold our first live service on Sunday 12th July. We realise that many of you have very much appreciated some of the more informal elements of our streamed services and are hoping that, technology permitting, we will be able to retain some of these alongside our traditional 9.30 Eucharist. We will also continue to stream these services from the Abbey soMore »
