Our Sunday services have re-started after lockdown. All are very welcome. We have put into place advice received from the government and the Church of England, so please read the posters in church and cooperate with instructions about spatial distancing and other safety measures, including the latest advice from the Church of England that face masks should be worn. The 10am service will also be live streamed each week at www.facebook.com/stmarythevirginmortlake/live
