Covid 19 - Update

I expect that, by now, you may all have heard the news that, as of today, Wednesday 16th December 2020, the UK Government has moved our district of Castlepoint into Covid 19, Tier 3 status. Although church worship is still permitted under Tier 3, (albeit with strict non socialising between different households restrictions), the Canvey Church Council has, (following a joint consultation), reluctantly decided to suspend meeting for physical church worship from this weekend onwards and over the Christmas period. 
This decision has not been made lightly but rather has been one prompted by a compassionate desire to protect our vulnerable members from potential harm and to minimise the risks of possible covid infection that might then have prevented us from enjoying mixing with our families and loved ones over the Christmas and new year periods.
I am truly sorry for any disappointment that this decision might cause, especially as we approach the joy of Christmas Day Celebrations of the birth of Jesus.
I will, of course, do my best to provide on-line and emailed worship alternatives over the remainder of the Advent and Christmas Day.
Hopefully, following a further review in the new year, physical church meetings might then, once again resume. We will keep you informed by email and on the church website.   canveymethodistchurch.org.uk
