Church closure

This notice includes information received from Graeme WIlliams and Malcom Heath.

Following the PM’s statement to the nation, it is with sadness that we must completely close all churches in the Blyth Valley Team with immediate effect. We will obviously re-open as soon as practically possible, so watch this space for information. While churches are now locked, the porch to Linstead church remains available for private worship.

Further details of resources available to the people of Chediston and Linstead are available on the Blyth Valley Team Ministry website.
