Attending services during the current times. It is now a legal requirement for face coverings to be worn in churches unless you have a medical  exemption.  We will continue to receive communion in one kind - just the consecrated wafer and ask that we continue to avoid contact during the sharing  of the peace.  To read the full set of recommended guidelines for the Ewelme Benefice which were produced in the summer, please click here.
