Welcome to our Benefice
WELCOME TO
The United Benefice of Somerton with The Charltons and Kingsdon, three parishes who seek to work together to promote the Kingdom of God in this area.
CORONAVIRUS RESTRICTIONS.
With the lifting of restrictions on Mon 19th July we will be looking to gradually move to a more normal situation.
However for now, following the Government’s recommendations, wearing face masks whilst in the Church building for congregations, use of hand sanitizer whilst entering and leaving, administering Holy Communion by wafer only and bringing it to congregants in their seats will all continue as before.
But from Sunday 25th July we will be able to return to congregational singing, providing masks are being worn, in our services. We will also from that day be able to sit closer together if we choose and will no longer need to sit in groups of no more than 6. However I continue to encourage us to be sensitive to those among our number who are vulnerable and who should be allowed as much distance around them as they wish.
