We had hoped to restart the midweek Holy Communion services in September. However, as the Local Government Guidelines have been revised to prevent a local lockdown, the churchwardens and I have postponed this. We will look again in October. I am sorry to have had to make this decision as I know that many of you value these services and I can reassure you that they will resume when it is safe to do so. In the meantime, the churches will continue to be open for private prayer on Wednesdays and Saturdays for All Hallows and Thursday for All Saints.
Rev Paula
to raise funds for All Hallows & All Saints
Northamptonshire Historic Churches Trust's annual Ride and Stride will be held on Sat 12 Sept this year and both of our churches will again be participating. We are hoping to keep the churches open 10:00-16:00 to visitors, but this will be dependent on Covid-19 regulations in force at that time.
Please think about sponsored riding or striding. We will receive half of the funds we raise.
For further information or to offer your support, please contact Christine T. for All Hallows (allhallowspccsec@btinternet.com or 01933 401596), or Bob A. for All Saints (01933 383316).
A mobile COVID-19 testing station is operating in Market Square, Wellingborough for the next few weeks, as the number of our cases has risen above the national rate. Please, if you have any reason to think you may have been infected, get tested.
