We continue to abide by the latest laws and advice from the UK government with regard to the safe use of the grounds, rooms and facilities within our premises.

The wearing of face coverings in enclosed or private spaces is a matter for personal judgement. It is no longer required by law.

* The wearing face coverings is not compulsory.

* Hand sanitizers in key places will still be available for use throughout the premises.

* There is no requirement for distanced seating for individuals or family ‘bubbles’. Visitors may, however, at their own discretion, request separate seating arrangements.

* The identities of all visitors for ‘Track & Trace’ procedures is no longer required. The onus is on individuals and it is their personal responsibility to declare and manage their health conditions and to isolate and report as necessary any Covid-related symptoms and positive test results.

* Weddings and funerals return without legal restrictions on guest numbers. Singing is permitted during ceremonies, receptions and/or wakes.

* Wheelchair ramp access is provided at the entrances with double opening doors leading to wide ‘footprint’ spaces for wheelchairs or similar amongst the seating in the church and hall.

If you have concerns for the physical, spiritual or mental health of family and friends, name them in prayer to God. During this difficult period of restriction and enforced separation, you can still contact Long Lane Independent Methodist Church here via this website.

We know that our regular act of Holy Communion will be missed by many who cannot attend our Sunday church services to celebrate the Lord’s Supper with others. so we have offered on this website the opportunity to partake of the sacraments in your home via a special online service. If you would like to do this, click here.

For those who are unable to attend Sunday devotions ‘live’ in the church, we are currently offering a wide variety of video and audio teaching, prayers, sermons and praise materials on our Listen & Watch and From The Pulpit pages.

We are a community that reaches out to vulnerable people, yet we do not want to put them at risk. If you feel you have symptoms, please consider alternative ways to help those in need beyond visiting and close proximity.
