The Rector of St Marylebone, 

The Revd Canon Dr Stephen Evans, writes:

Following the announcement by Her Majesty’s Government that Church buildings can reopen, providing physical distancing remains in place, St Marylebone is now open for public worship. Being able to worship together is a cause for huge thanksgiving, but worship will not be able to return as it was before lockdown.

Opening for public worship, with restrictions in place to limit the spread of the virus to protect each other, especially the most vulnerable, will be the first step towards returning to recognisable patterns of public worship. Some services will continue to be recorded and Young Church will continue online in much the same way as has been happening since lockdown began.

St Marylebone will do all that it can to help in the huge task ahead to bring consolation and hope to many who have lost so much through past months.

Along with Fr Jack, Mthr Katy, the Crown Warden and Churchwardens I look forward to welcoming you back.
