After having lived through the first time since 1208 that a decision to suspend public acts of worship, we have begun the process of moving back into our buildings. This is a learning process for all of us, so please bear with us as we all seek to find a new way to 'be' church for this time. We will still be online, and all at home are invited to join us in worship via via Zoom and on our Facebook page, with a recording of the services uploaded to our Youtube channel.
Details of how to access our online services can be found on our weekly email newsletter. FAQs on how we are accessing our buildings can be found here.
You may also wish to use the below resources both during our acts of worship and at other times. If you know of anyone who does not have a computer but would appreciate these, please do print them off and give them to them.

You an do so by emailing isolation@berkswich.org.uk or by TEXTING 07979 963 707. Please TEXT rather than call to help us better manage the messages.
