Anyone know when proper church services will resume?

grannyrose I don’t think a global pandemic cares about religious holidays, sadly.

Depends very much on the size of the buildings. But certainly it's not a social gathering at the moment.

"Individual prayer - A person, or single household, entering the venue to pray on their own."

The number of individuals or households permitted in a place of worship at any one time will be dependent on the size of the building and ability to socially distance therein.

Some church services are happening at the moment.

From Ash Wednesday (17th February 2021) we will begin a gradual resumption of public worship within the current guidelines and limitations.

The above is from the website of Lincoln cathedral.

Don't know what she means by "proper" though. She will have to wear a mask, sit by herself, and won't be able to stay for a chat afterwards at the moment so maybe that isn't quite what she had in mind.

It is a great sadness to me that the restrictions have not been lifted sufficiently for us to be able to celebrate Easter "properly" this year - the second year in a row. It also looks like some restrictions will still be in place for Ascensiontide and Pentecost too.
