Church building NOW OPEN for prayer and reflection
From Wednesday 20th January we opened again for private prayer. The building will be open on Wednesdays and Saturdays; from 10am-2pm. The church is open, with no-one there to welcome; but there are clear, well-placed notices reminding visitors to adhere to Covid-19 guidelines.
At all other times the church building is closed - no public worship, nor filming, nor live streaming, etc. Please contact Liz (churchwarden) if you, need access to the church. NB: includes keyholders. We plan to hold small funerals, as well as offering graveside burials.
Our worship will continue with 'Heacham Parish Church online' on Youtube, via email, plus paper copies delivered to those who request them. Plus our new 'Heacham Parish Church on Zoom' at 10am on Sundays.
We will review the situation early in March, and regularly from then on, so that we can re-open for services as soon as possible.
