Although religious gatherings are still allowed in Tier 4, Oxford Local Meeting’s Covid Group has decided to suspend in-house Meetings for Worship at No. 43 for at least the month of January 2021.
Meetings for Worship continue to be held at the usual times. Friends are able to worship in the following ways:
- Online or via your telephone, using Zoom
- In the quiet of your own home at the normal meeting times, but without connecting to Zoom
In addition, Woodbrooke organises online Meetings for Worship
