UPDATE FROM UPTON BISHOP CHURCH.
CHURCH SERVICES 
By the time you read this update, services will have started again in the church. 
This is exceptionally good news, and everyone is welcome to come along at 10.30am on most Sunday mornings. Because of the virus, there is to be no singing for the moment and social distancing and hand washing are essential. The format is kept as simple as possible and, of course, everything is subject to sudden change, but we are delighted to be back to some degree of normality. 

There will still, for now, be a streamed Zoom service at 10.30 on Sunday 16th August and at 5.30 Mon-Thurs. Instructions for joining are on the pew sheet. David will be zooming at 12 noon for those unable to attend other Sunday services.
The weekly church pew sheet is being sent out electronically. Please let me know if you would like to be added to the distribution list. click here to contact

Upton Bishop Church is open every day from 10am to 4pm for private or family prayer.  

Thank you for helping us to keep the church safe for us all to use:

    Please sanitise your hands before entering and after leaving the building. Soap, water, and paper towels are provided for you in the porch.  
    If you use your own hand gel, and wish to light a candle, please make sure your hands are absolutely dry first. Be aware that alcohol gel is very inflammable.

    Please, for the time being, only use the designated pews as these will be cleaned at the end of each day. You may prefer to remain standing.

    If others are present, please keep 2m apart.

    Please avoid touching anything unless you really must.

If, after a visit to the church, you experience any symptoms of Corona Virus please let us know immediately, so that we can contact others and close the church for deep cleaning. Ring Olivia click here to contact

Please keep an eye on the Upton Bishop website and on social media for more information. We update the website regularly.

It’s been a while so I thought an update was in order! The Larder has been busier since the Covid crisis, and e continue to see new individuals and families coming every week. We are expecting to see numbers rise again with the ending of the furlough period, and the possible restructuring of some businesses.
Morrisons have been great,and the corporate donations have arrived regularly, and will continue to do so for a few more weeks. Local donations via the trolleys in Sainsbury’s and Morrisons are steady, and we are still receiving donations every Tuesday, for which we are very grateful!  
We had a large donation of food this week from Tim, a sack of potatoes from a passer-by and our cake baking ladies have been busy- as you can see from the photos ! We are also receiving donations from Parsons and The Co-Op, and have just taken delivery of a lovely large box of flour from Gay at The Rumbling Tum. To give you an idea o what we need - we would love to have biscuits. Tinned meat, tinned fruit & vegetables,rice pudding, custard & washing-up liquid. Huge thanks to all who have helped us during this difficult period, and to all who continue to do so! Unfortunately, the need to feed is not going anywhere - but neither are we!
