Our Nativity Service this year is a little different – Instead of the usual dramatisation, there will be a video version where different members of the congregation have made their contribution. This service will be held in church but also live streamed for those who prefer to join in from home. Anyone is free to attend the service as long as they are free from Covid symptoms, but vulnerable people are urged to think carefully before coming. Face coverings will have to be worn, there will be no congregational singing, and people are not allowed to socialise or sit with anyone outside their household or support bubble. All Covid-compliant safety guidelines will be followed.
Numbers will be limited so, if you are coming please let us know by email: info@otleyparishchurch.org
Alternatively, you will be able to join in the service online at home anytime from 10.30am on Sunday via the Otley Parish Church YouTube Channel
