Coronavirus (Covid-19)

The Solway Plain Parish

Churches are open again for services please see our events calendar for details of the services

Baptisms, Weddings and Funerals may now take place The following guidance applies to all services held in the churches.

If you intend to come to a service in church, please be aware of the following guidance:

Hand sanitiser is available at the entrance and should be used on your way in and out of the church
The offertory place will not be passed around, there will be a collection plate at the back of church for your donations as you enter the church.
In services of Holy Communion, we will not ‘share’ the peace.
We will share only the bread at communion. Please follow all directions of the minister when receiving (the bread will be brought and served to you in your seat). The current advice is that there should be no words said at the distribution, so the bread will be distributed and the words said when everyone has received the bread into their hands for all to consume at the same time.
If you have any symptoms of Covid-19 please stay at home, take a test, and contact NHS if you need further advice.

We also have a Sunday Service held online or can be listened to on the phone click here for further details

We encourage you to continue your personal prayer and reflection, from your own home.
