Following the Prime Minister's announcement on 23rd March, the Church of England have closed all church buildings (as well as suspended public worship) until further notice. Sadly this means we will not be meeting in person at church or Jacob's Well. All other events and gatherings are cancelled, this includes the Saturday breakfast, lunch, coffee mornings, the Festival of Ideas and Bloom! York. This new webpage aims to keep people updated and to provide useful links to information, resources and support. Sign up for email updates. For those who do not have internet access; we will provide updates by telephone and post.
