While Omicron variant cases are rising so fast locally, we at St Paul's Wimbledon Parkside want to do everything we possibly can to keep everyone safe in our church. We would therefore appreciate it if you would take a rapid lateral flow test (RLFT) on the day' of the service you plan to attend to prevent further spread of the virus. Please only attend having obtained a negative RLFT result. You can pick up an RLFT testing kit from your local pharmacy.  You may need a 'collect code' from the GOV.UK website.  Further details can be found on the NHS website here: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/...

If think you have any of the symptoms of Coronavirus (fever, persistent cough, sore throat, loss of taste or smell), please do not attend church. In this case you will need to take a PCR test.  Further details here:  Get a PCR test if you have symptoms of COVID-19 on GOV.UK

We remind our congregation that under the 'Plan B' measures introduced by the Government, masks are now a requirement in church. Spare masks and hand sanitizer will be available. We also politely ask our congregation to spread out on the pews as far as possible; to avoid indoor socialising, and to always keep a reasonable social distance when mixing outdoors with those not in your family or household group. Our church is spacious and well-ventilated, and observing these guidelines will help to keep everyone safe and minimise the risks.

Please remember that for those who prefer, or who think they may have symptoms of Coronavirus, all our Christmas Services will be livestreamed via our YouTube channel St Paul's Wimbledon Parkside. It is free to subscribe and the quality of the images and sound are generally excellent if you have a good Internet connection.

We feel it is important to continue our worship as normally as possible this Christmas season. However you choose to be present, in person or online, we hope very much that you will join us at some or all of the services.
