ARRANGEMENTS FOR OPENING CHURCHES

 

Yetminster St Andrew 8am - 12 noon daily

 

From 6th July, please enter and leave by the main North Church door.  (The Tower works team have requested sole use of the South door for approximately three months).

 

On arrival please make sure you use the hand sanitiser or gloves provided.

 

Visitors are encouraged to remain standing although there will be one pew available for those who need to sit.  This pew will alternate and be cleaned each day.

 

All doors and pew tops will all be cleaned each day, and we would politely ask that people try not to touch anything.

 

If you feel more comfortable wearing a mask and your own gloves, please do. There will also be gloves available at the entry door. We want to ensure everyone coming into church feels safe and comfortable. For now please bring your own prayer books too.

 

[NB The church  will be closed for cleaning after the first service on Sunday 12th July and will re open for personal prayer on Thursday 16th July, from 8am to midday daily]

We are not allocating specific pews.  Instead we are providing small ‘Post-it-notes’ asking that anyone using a pew for sitting or kneeling to please mark the place with a sticky note so we can target our cleaning and sanitising.

We are providing sanitiser immediately on entry and requesting its use on entry and exit. 
 
We will have a polite notice asking people to touch as little as possible and  trust that they will use their common sense.
