The church remains here, as always, for all, regardless of creed or conviction.  If you are self-isolating and in need of pastoral support please call, likewise if you are in need of assistance with shopping please get in touch and we can help with that too.  S. Saviour's is going to be used as a kind of warehouse or distribution hub for getting practical help to those who need it.  We will be working together with local partners and others to provide groceries, toiletries, and deliveries where needed.

​

In order to help us continue to support our community please do think about donating to church either through our JustGiving page, or through online banking (please get in touch with the clergy for details)

​

Stay safe, continue to praise God, and pray that this outbreak may swiftly come to an end.

​

God bless you all,

​
