OPEN FOR SUNDAY WORSHIP AGAIN from December 6th
We have reopened our church for Sunday Worship, now that all
necessary clearance is in place and we have
carried out all we can to make church a safe COVID-secure experience for us all.
Information about arrangements for worship can be found here.
Links to material produced during lockdown and devotional resources for you to engage with if you are unable to return to worship yet can be found here.
Pastoral care is being given in the first instance by telephone or email. Please contact us and we will endeavour to do our best. Let us all try to keep together and pray for each other as a church community, and for the wider community we are a part of.
EVENTS
We are an active church, serving each other and the wider community.
Our regular events include Coffee with Cake and Tabletop Market every second Saturday of the month and Tunes and Tea last Friday of the month.
These activities will remain suspended for the time being.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
A special prayer during the Coronavirus COVID-19 epidemic:
Loving God in these days of Coronavirus we begin our prayer conscious of those who mourn the loss of loved ones and whose lives have been forever changed. Lord of life, bring your hope.
We pray for all frontline and key workers, and those in education and social care, and we ask your peace and provision that they may know your strength to sustain.
We pray for those who feel especially disrupted: those whose life events and celebrations have been cancelled or postponed and those whose future hopes and dreams feel distant and uncertain.
We pray for world leaders internationally and closer to home, for wisdom, insight and clarity and for a vision of community that goes beyond our national borders
As those entrusted with the care of your creation, we pray for a right judgement in the stewardship of the earth as lockdown begins to be eased, and for our future commitment to the wellbeing of the environment
We pray for your church throughout the world as we gather in our different ways. Keep us firm in the hope you have set before us so that we and all your children may be free to worship you all our days
