Services
St Paul's has a sung Worship Eucharist Service at 10.30am on Sundays and a Said Eucharist Service on Wednesdays at 10:30am.
We also have tea and coffee available after the Sunday and Wednesday service.
Hygiene
We want people to feel safe and so we continue to offer the Sacrament of Wine as we did during Covid time, by having individual glasses, but poured from the Common Cup (Chalice). Many people with health issues appreciate this as otherwise they would not be able to receive the wine at the Eucharist (or the non-alchoholic wine). We do have recovering alchoholics worshipping regularly, as well as others who cannot drink wine.
We use hand-gel where necessary and face coverings are available if people are concerned about infections/colds, etc.
At the time of The Peace we stay in our seats and give a wave rather than a handshake.
Safeguarding
St Paul's take SAFEGUARDING SERIOUSLY and encourages others to do the same. Our Safeguarding Officer is Val Watkinson on 01733 314117. The Diocesan Safeguarding Officer is Victoria Kellett and she can be contacted on 01733 887000, email: victoria.kellett@peterborough-diocese.org.uk and the assistant safegarding officer is Angie Barber, email: pia.cammarata@peterborough-diocese.org.uk.

News Sheet, Blog and Diary
Our News Sheet contains details of our Services and other news. Val produces a weekly Blog of news and events over the past week and future events.
The News sheets, blogs and diary of events can be accessed from the menu. These are also printed and available in church. Every Sunday and at the Wednesday service the Collect Prayer (printed on the front of the News Sheet) is read out by everyone; as is the St Paul's Vision Prayer (which is on the 2nd side of the sheet).
To receive the weekly News Sheet and Blog by email on Saturdays please contact Val on stpaulslpm@gmail.com.
