A Message from the South Croydon Benefice
Dear Friends
In line with the continuing easing of lockdown restrictions, we are slowly reintroducing more physical services and events. From Pentecost, Sunday, 23rd May
* Book of Common Prayer (BCP) Holy Communion
will recommence on Sundays at 08:00 and will now
take place at St. Augustine's every week.
* Sunday Evening Worship will recommence at St.
Peter's at 18:30
* Morning Prayer will now take place at St.
Augustine's on Mondays and Wednesdays at
09:00, remaining on Zoom on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
We hope that you will want to join some of these services, but rest assured that we will maintain an online presence if you are not ready to come back.
Please be assured of our prayers for the whole community in this
challenging time.
