Policy on Accessibility, including Dogs in the Churchyard and Church

We have worked hard over many years to make the church and churchyard and their facilities, services and activities as equally accessible and welcoming, as far as is reasonably possible, to those with a disability as to those without.  We extend a warm welcome to those with disabilities and seek to facilitate their participation in worship and activities.  Our policy has been renewed and is available to view via our page on Accessibility here.  The policy applies to both the church and churchyard and includes:

• Physical access for disabled people.

• Adaptations and facilities for disabled people.

• Guide Dogs, Hearing Dogs, Assistance Dogs, Support Dogs, Service Dogs and/or Dogs for the Disabled.

The church and churchyard are religious sites and are consecrated for these purposes and we ask visitors to respect them and to note the conditions that apply to access; in particular, that apart from the dogs listed above,
          no other (pet) dogs are allowed in
          the  churchyard and church. 
Please see our page on Accessibility for full details.

We've had a super Eco-Church Summer Sewing Project!

Our summer Eco-Church Sewing Project has been super!  It was run for the Church and local community and in partnership with the 'Wild Colerne' group.   For more information, please see our Join In! page.

Covid measures in church

We are mindful that Covid is still with us and seek to take a responsible position in accordance with Governmental and Church guidance while offering protection to those who are vulnerable. Our measures, which will be reviewed as and when required, are:

• Please don’t enter the church building if you have Covid-19 or symptoms of Covid-19.
• You are invited to sanitise your hands when you enter the building.
• There is no obligation to wear a face covering in church. However, you are very welcome to do so, should you wish.
• Seating is not regulated, although the North Aisle is generally less used than the rest of the church and, therefore, there is more room there for people to spread out should they wish to do so.
• ​Communion is undertaken in two kinds or one kind, as desired.​

​​About the church family​

We are a varied and friendly congregation seeking to know more of Christ and to walk with Him in our village and in the world.

Please explore our website to see the practical expression of our faith in action and to discover the many activities and services that we and our community have to offer.

We meet regularly for worship on Sundays and Thursday and welcome everyone who would like to join us. 

Please see the Church Diary for details of church services and other church activities.
​
We are committed to Safeguarding and strive to do everything that we can to keep people safe when they use our buildings or take part in our groups and activities and we are especially mindful of the safety of our children, young people and vulnerable adults.

​We are engaged with Eco Church in order to safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain and renew the life of the earth, believing that as a church community it is essential that we play a full and clear part in this and in countering climate change.
