Update: 14 December 2021
In the light of the new omicron Coronavirus variant, we remain open with the current Coronavirus guidelines in place.

We are currently still planning to run some workshops and events in January. We will be monitoring the Coronavirus situation and adapt our plans as and when needed.
Over the Christmas period, we very much ask everyone to continue to stand with us in prayer about Covid – for individuals and families affected by it, for those with long Covid, for the NHS and health services, for mental wellbeing, for businesses affected by it, and future decisions relating to it. Above all, pray that Covid globally will quickly fade away, miraculously, whether by vaccine or some other way and people are completely healed and set free in other ways from Covid’s grip.
Our last day open before Christmas will be Thursday 24 December, 10am–1pm.
We will reopen at 10am on Tuesday 4 January 2022.
Our opening times up until Christmas are:
Monday – Closed
Tuesday – 10am-4pm
Wednesday – Closed
Thursday – 10am-4pm
Friday – 10am-4pm
Saturday – 10am–4pm
Sunday – Closed
Please stay safe and check back here for further updates as we have them.
Wishing you a very blessed and happy Christmas time,
the LivingStones Christian Centre team.
Update: 20 July 2021
We are pleased to be able to welcome people back to the centre with the easing of Covid restrictions from 19 July.
However we are also conscious that some people may still be feeling anxious to venture out, or still fall in the vulnerable category. Please do feel free to ask members of staff if you would like them to wear a face mask while you are in the centre and/or would like them to maintain social distancing. We would like you to feel comfortable when you visit the centre.
As restrictions are lifted, we are excited that this enables us to continue with the plans we have been busy working on over the last few months. These include an Art month in August – more on that in another post.
We are looking forward to welcoming many more of you back to the centre, having a chat, praying for those that would like prayer, hosting more workshops and meetings, and helping you once again in person to find your Bibles, Christian books, gifts and cards!
