Following guidance from the Church of England and from the Bishop’s Office for the Diocese of Sodor and Man;

• Holy  Communion will only be offered to communicants in one kind i.e. the consecrated bread/wafer/host, with the priest alone taking the wine; (it is not lawful practice in the Church of England to use individual cups)
• Please stand for receiving communion to avoid touching the altar rail
• Please DO NOT  shake hands or have other direct physical contact during the sharing of the Peace;
• The priest/minister will refrain from direct physical contact as part of a blessing or “laying on of hands”.
• There will be no refreshments/catering before or after services

These precautions will be regularly reviewed and up-dated as necessary.
