News for week of
November 29
Mary and Joseph
As Mary and Joseph cannot travel round the parish during Advent this year
we can all share the journey in our thoughts, with this prayer:
Heavenly Father,
we ask you to inspire us to be thinking people
as we share this journey of Mary and Joseph
through the days of Advent to the celebration of
Your birth at Christmas time.
Please bless our homes, those who live in them,
and all who enjoy their hospitality at this Holy Time, and always.
Amen
Fence maintenance
We are thankful for the repair of the broken fence at the back of
the graveyard by church members who completed the work despite the
inclement weather.
Remembrance
Due to the covid lockdown we were unable to hold the Remembrance service
in church, or share the laying of wreaths at the war memorial. The service
on November 8 was held on-line with the conventional two minute silence. A wreath
was laid at the memorial by the churchwardens after the service.
All Souls
This year we were unable to hold a service as we usually do to remember
loved ones who have died. Instead, as an act of remembering, all were invited to
add a ribbon to the memory tree which was in the church grounds from
Friday 30 October to Sunday 1 November. A service for All Souls was held on-line.
Services
Limited services in church are restarting in December.
The church will be open for private prayer on Wednesdays from
1.00 pm until 3.00 pm.
Restarting services in church
