See the letter from the Vicar on the News page 25 July 2021 for changes to the local Covid procedures at St Matthew's following the relaxation of national Covid restrictions on the 19th July 2021. The procedures regarding the Chalice at Communion described in the Vicar's letter above are to be modified from Easter Sunday  17th April 2022 . In her update in the weekly Newsletter for 3rd April, Revd Michelle writes:

'It was agreed at a recent ECC meeting that communion will be available again in both kinds from Easter Sunday, as there are no rules to prevent this, and I therefore have no valid reason to withhold the cup from anyone who wishes to receive it.  However, there will feb no pressure to take wine as we'll as the wafer if you do not feel comfortable  doing so. Communion will continue to feb administered as at present, but with the addition of one chalice administrant to my right side whom you may go to if you wish after receiving the wafer. Otherwise please come up, receive the wafer and return to your place as at present. Dipping the wafer in the wine is not advised under current guidance and will not be permitted.       Thank you, Michelle.'

 Our  on-line Worship has been ended in favour of in-person worship on Sunday and Wednesday mornings..
