COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Guidance
We have been closely monitoring the outbreak of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) and, following advice from Public Health England and the Church of England, we are taking appropriate steps to ensure we keep all members and visitors of Saint Michael’s as safe as possible.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ calls us to be attentive to the needs of the weakest and most in need in our community. Protecting high risk groups such as the elderly and those with underlying health conditions is of great importance and something we must all be mindful of.
These are some steps we are now taking more widely to help prevent spread of the virus:
- Communion is currently offered ‘in one Kind’ (Bread/Precious Body) for the foreseeable future. It is Anglican teaching that to receive the sacrament in one kind only is to receive the sacrament in its entirety. Your clergy and the servers are ensuring excellent hand hygiene in the preparation and administration of Communion.
- We have suspended physical contact during the Peace, refreshments after services and made arrangements to ensure the collection plate is not passed around
- We are closely monitoring updates from Public Health England in relation to our services and events. This includes our Drop-In, Safe Haven, Followers and Sunday School activities.
- We are doing all we can to provide hand washing and hand sanitisation facilities.
- We are asking everyone who feels unwell, and has any of the coronavirus symptoms (however mild), to stay away from services and events at St Michael’s and to self-isolate in accordance with the Government’s guidelines. This is for the protection of the most vulnerable in our community.
Please ensure you thoroughly wash your hands on arrival at church.
To help prevent the spread of infection, please follow general best practice as outlined by Public Health England.
If you feel unwell and develop a fever or continuous cough, please stay away from church and call 111 for advice.
Please do not attend church if you are in a period of self, or mandated isolation but please do let a member of the clergy or Church family know by email or phone so they can be in touch with you.
If you choose to stay away from Church for this period, because of your age or an underlying condition, please know that this is OK and completely understandable in the circumstances.
We will continue to monitor this situation and update our approach as necessary.
We continue, of course, to pray for those unwell at this time and for those in positions of authority taking care to respond to the outbreak. Please also be particularly aware of neighbours who are elderly or live alone and look out for them in the event of any illness.

What's On
This beautiful prayer was written by an Italian priest who is self-isolating at the moment and very sadly lost his own brother a few days ago to Covid-19…
I’m staying at home, Lord!
I’m staying at home, Lord! And today, I realise, you taught me this, remaining obedient to the Father, for thirty years in the house of Nazareth, waiting for the great mission.
I stay at home, Lord, and in Joseph’s studio, your keeper and mine, I learn to work, to obey, to round the corners of my life and prepare you a work of art.
I’m staying at home, Lord! And I know that I am not alone because Mary, like any mother, is in the next room, doing chores and preparing lunch for all of us, God’s family.
I’m staying at home, Lord! And I do it responsibly for my own good, for the health of my city, for my loved ones, and for the good of my brother, whom you have put beside me, asking me to take care of him in the garden of life.
I’m staying at home, Lord! And in the silence of Nazareth, I pledge to pray, to read, study, meditate, be useful for small jobs, in order to make our home more beautiful and more welcoming.
I’m staying at home, Lord! And in the morning, I thank you for the new day you give me, trying not to spoil it and welcome it with wonder, as a gift and an Easter surprise.
I’m staying at home, Lord! And at noon I will receive the greeting of the angel, I will make myself useful for love, in communion with you who have made you flesh to live among us; and, tired of the journey, thirsty, I will meet you at Jacob’s well, and thirsty for love on the Cross.
I’m staying at home, Lord! And if the evening takes me melancholy, I will invoke you like the disciples of Emmaus: stay with us, the evening has arrived and the sun sets.
I’m staying at home, Lord! And in the night, in communion of prayer with the many sick, the lonely and all the caregivers, I will wait for the dawn to sing your mercy again and tell everyone that, in the storms, you have been my refuge.
I’m staying at home, Lord! And I don’t feel alone and abandoned, because you told me: I’m with you every day. yes, and especially in these days of confusion, O Lord, in which, if my presence is not necessary, I will reach everyone, only with the wings of prayer.
Amen
