St Mary and St Gabriel

Sharing the love of God

Church Services

St.Mary & St Gabriel Harting, St Paul's Elsted and St Andrew, Didling are open. 

Please maintain social distancing at all times and do NOT handle books or other communal materials. Hand sanitiser is provided inside which you are asked to apply on both entering and leaving the church. 

New arrangements:

1. Please wait outside the porch until you are invited in by a churchwarden.

2. Please then sanitise your own hands and make sure the churchwarden takes your details for track and trace.

3. Make your way to a pew and sit down - please note that only one household group should sit in any one pew - so please spread out.

4. Harriet will lead the service from under the tower where we will place the small movable altar, which will allow us to also live stream the service for anyone at home.

5. Communion will be brought to you in your seat so please remain where you are, keep your mask on and please don't say anything out loud when you receive the bread.

6. At the end of the service, we will leave pew by pew to ensure distancing and no mingling. 

There will be no sidemen or intercessors in order to limit the number of people moving about the building.

10am Services at Harting will also stream on our Facebook page and will be available to view later
