Welcome to the Anglican Church in Menton

Sunday 16 August

St John's Church

Eucharist Service, 10h30

Fr David Houghton

Saturday Coffee Morning at the St John Library resumes September 2020

Fr David Houghton, locum priest, and St John's Menton Chaplaincy Council are eagerly looking forward to welcoming you to St John's Church Sunday, 10h30. This marks the final stage in 10 years of restoring this fine and beloved Church. 

 

We are advancing with the presentation of the Sunday Service. At 10.30 the Eucharist will be said with sermon, music without singing and Holy Communion. Of course, do be assured that all appropriate precautions are observed, and at present our capacity is limited to around 40 people. We are sorry that we cannot yet offer refreshments at this time. Please be aware that at this time we cannot assure the use of toilets nor water. Nonetheless our welcome will be the warmest and happiest. 

 

Later this summer we hope to be able to offer much more as a Christian body in Menton and are very thankful for all the support, encouragement and prayers over so many years.

 

We wish you all every blessing this summertime.

Please help us follow these guidelines issued by the Church of England & France.

 

-All surfaces to be disinfected prior to public worship.

-Hand sanitising stations upon entry and exit.

-The two-metre ‘rule’ applies for public worship except in situations where closer contact cannot be avoided; extra Public Health precautions must then be taken.
-Wearing of face-coverings is voluntary.
-Government guidance includes a request for names of attendees to be recorded and kept for 21 days to assist 'track and trace'.
-Singing, chanting and playing of brass or woodwind instruments are not recommended.
-Detailed instructions on ‘consumables’ suggest that services of Holy Communion can be held if specific guidance is followed, including the continued suspension of the Common Cup.
-Queue management to reduce congestion and contact.
