\"\"<\/a>We have reviewed our practices in line with the government\u2019s Plan B measures to restrict the spread of the Omicron virus mutation. Whilst formal, 2 metre, distanced seating arrangements will continue to be relaxed during normal services, we ask that everyone remains respectful of each other\u2019s space to ensure that we all feel safe during worship.<\/p>\n

Those who are able to do so, should wear masks whilst in church in accordance with the new rules. We do intend to continue to take Holy Communion from the front of the church. (See below). It is difficult to distinguish Covid symptoms from those of a cold or flu, especially for those who have had all their jabs, so, if you have any<\/u><\/b> cold or flu like symptoms, then please consider taking a Lateral Flow test or staying at home to protect each other. We will continue to monitor the situation closely.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Communion – What to expect<\/h4>\n
\n

We will ask those sitting in the back pews, to come forward first, down the centre aisle, you will be directed by the sides persons. You should return to your seat via the side aisles Those who requested it can still receive communion in their seats.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Gluten Free wafers are available. Please ask. If you are unable to move freely around the church, you can request to take communion in your seat – please mention this to any of our welcomers. If you would prefer a simple blessing rather than communion then keep your hands down and the vicar will say a short prayer for you instead.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8439,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17,10,9,4,15,16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8438","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cc-home-page","category-church-family","category-community-networks","category-news","category-services","category-site-features"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.christchurchswindon.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8438","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.christchurchswindon.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.christchurchswindon.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.christchurchswindon.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.christchurchswindon.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8438"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.christchurchswindon.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8438\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8441,"href":"https:\/\/www.christchurchswindon.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8438\/revisions\/8441"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.christchurchswindon.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8439"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.christchurchswindon.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8438"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.christchurchswindon.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8438"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.christchurchswindon.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8438"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
