St. Alban’s

Re-open for Private Prayer

Following the revised Government guidance during this COVID-19 pandemic, we are delighted that the PCC have agreed to open St. Alban’s Church for private prayer.

With the resuming of Sunday Services from the 9th August and to allow us to maintain a COVID safe environment, the Church will now only be open on 1 day each week for private prayer.

Private Prayer – Thursdays between 1pm – 3pm

When attending the Church, please observe the precautions that we have all become accustomed to, including social distancing and the use of hand gel which will be made available, on both entering and exiting the Church. Specific details to enable safe use of the church are given on the entrance doors and inside the building.

Both the main entrance and rear doors will be left open during the above periods, to enable both accessible access for all and a one-way system through the church.

For your safety, we ask that you remain in the nave during your private prayer and that you do not move the chairs from their marked positions on the floor or venture into taped off areas.

Thank you and God bless.
