Coronavirus – resources and guidance
Reopening Churches Form
We have put an online form together so you can let us know how things are going with reopening your churches and your online services.
Please use the drop down boxes to find your church, then you can let us know if you are continuing with online only services, moving to gathered services or continuing with both. It would be helpful if you could come back each week and tell us how things are going through the summer and into the Autumn.
We hope that this information will be able to help us give better support to parishes, signpost people to churches that are open (without them being overwhelmed) and assist in the allocation of resources. If you have any questions or comments about the form please email Mark Adams, the Interim Assistant Archdeacon for Newark Archdeaconry on mark.adams@southwell.anglican.org
