Latest on Church Closure, 12 July 2020
The Diocese of Carlisle closed all its church buildings in Cumbria with immediate effect on 12 March, but they are now allowed to open up again for private prayer, worship following social distancing guidelines and weddings and funerals (with specific limitations).
St George’s is reopening from next week (22 July) for private prayer only, between 10am and 12 midday on Wednesdays. (Other churches in Kendal are open at other times. Please check their websites and Facebook pages for details.) We are planning to restart worship services in church soon and will make an announcement on this page when we do.
In the meantime, we are doing all we can to support vulnerable members of our congregation, including holding them, our local community and all those affected in prayer. The Beacon Team are holding almost-daily morning and evening services using Zoom. Please check our News page or Facebook page for details.
Visit our Prayer and Worship pages for materials to support private prayer, worship and contemplation at this time including resources for families, for use during busy weekday lives and on quiet Sunday mornings when we used to be together. If you’d like to be kept updated week by week by email on opportunities to join in live worship, please email us.
