Worship and Fellowship (COVID-19)FROM CHURCHES AROUND THE UK US THIS LINK THE UK BLESSING
CORONAVIRUS - Virtual Worship and Fellowship Due to the Coronavirus our Churches have to remain closed at the present and so our services will continue to be by phone or video link.
This week we will have an Ascension day agape meal at 7pm on Thursday, in addition to our usual 10am Wednesday worship, but there will not be a Tea with the Vicar on Friday I shall be at a crematorium.
From Thursday on for the next 10 days we are encouraged to pray for our world in Thy Kingdom Come initiative, please try to set aside some special time each day to be with the Lord to ask for his Kingdom to come in our community and especially in the lives of 5 friends.
CORONAVIRUS - Virtual Worship and Fellowship We are still running “phone a friend” so please call Alan on 272029 if you would like a couple of telephone numbers of other Church members to chat to and get to know. Irene Stone is running a prayer circle so contact her if you want to join ireneatctis@aol.com The Church of England has introduced a Daily Hope Line which is a telephone number which you can call at any time day or night to listen to prayers, readings, hymns etc the number is 0800 804 804 CORONAVIRUS The Archbishops and Bishops of the Church of England have agreed a three phase approach to removing the restrictions on the use of Churches. The phases are:- Phase 1 An initial immediate phase allowing very limited access to church buildings for activities such as recording or streaming of services or private prayer by an Incumbent or an appointed person in their own parish, so long as the necessary hygiene and physical distancing precautions are taken. Phase 2 Subsequently access for some rites and ceremonies when allowed by law, observing appropriate physical distancing and hygiene precautions. Phase 3 Worship services with limited congregations meeting, when Government restrictions are eased to allow this.
At the time of writing, (mid-May) we have just moved into the first phase and so are still at present unable to use the Churches for acts of worship or for individuals use for private prayer. SERVICES UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE EVERY WEDNESDAY at 10am there will be an Agape meal (a form of Holy Communion). EVERY SUNDAY at 10.30am there will be a Sunday act of worship.
