CORONAVIRUS LATEST
IMPORTANT UPDATE
Following the latest Government guidelines of 30th December, we are now in a Tier 4 area. In the light of the current circumstances, and after prayerful consideration, we have regretfully made the decision that there should be no live services or activities at St Laurence for the time being. This decision has not been taken lightly and many factors have been taken into consideration, not least the understandable anxiety of our church members and users. We will update this website as soon as the situation changes.
