After three months of lock-down, we have at last managed to reopen Billingsley Church for private prayer, or simply to come inside and reflect or look round. We are of course still having to take precautions and these are listed on the church door, so please follow these if you do visit but we welcome all who come!

We still cannot hold services in the building and it will be some weeks before that happens. What has struck me is how the life of our church has continued in community, even without the use of a building. At the start of lock-down, Dave Walker published the cartoonabove in the Church Times. It needs no more words from me, beyond to thank all those who are the church in their daily lives.
