The Parish of Ockbrook & Borrowash
Update on worship services, events, community support etc.
As part of the ongoing easing of the Covid-19 induced social distancing restrictions, in addition to being able to open the church buildings for quiet personal prayer, if we so wish, as long as various protective protocols are adhered to, we are now allowed to open for Public worship.
Whatever the short-term future holds, we will continue to shape our church life around these four goals:
- For the church family to remain connected and informed
- Ongoing support for the most vulnerable in our church family
- Ongoing support and help with care in the wider community
- The priority of prayer
As part of point one, we are committed to continuing the church without walls services, and, unless we are locked down, the two weekly worship services in our church buildings. For these we have created as COVID-secure an environment as possible. On a Sunday, we have various guest musicians and CDs, and so-far, we have received much positive feedback about the creative and contemplative feel.
Please see below what we have decided to do in the short term, noting that things are still fluid and may have to change at short notice

| Sun 4th | 10.00am | All Saints’ | Said Holy Communion |
