Firstly, as the churches Team Rector in the Parish of Monkwearmouth, I'd like to offer you our prayers for whatever it is you might be experiencing at this time of great uncertainty and anxiety.

Secondly, in the light of recent advice from the Government and from the Church of England (specific details can be found on the Church of England website) all regular services at St. Peter's, All Saints' and St. Andrew's on Sundays and Wednesdays are suspended until further notice.

We are advised that wedding and funeral services may still go ahead but with minimal numbers of family and friends present and with appropriate "social distancing". At this time we are awaiting guidance on baptism services.

We are aware that this may be superceded by more restrictive government measures. In addition, it may be that members of clergy may have to self-isolate, either for themselves, or if a member of their family becomes unwell.  If you are visiting this website to find out more about booking a wedding or baptism we strongly advise that you consider delay doing this until later in the year or until the present concern about Covid 19 is passed.

We hope in the coming days to be able to open at least one church building at intervals for people to use for quiet prayer and are working on ways in which people are able to be provided with worship resources to use at home.

Dick Bradshaw, Team Rector
