Dear Friends,

Here’s the link for the All Age Service.

I will send this to all my youth group parent contacts just in case they’re not on Linda’s distribution list.  

Big thanks Linda for your ongoing great publicity. 

Hope you’re keeping warm and well.

Happy to produce these services monthly if the PCC decides not to run ‘in church’ All Age services.

Blessings,

Alistair

The implications of the current lockdown for our churches will be discussed at the PCC meeting on Monday, where a decision will be taken about the best way forward for the safety of our church family. Unfortunately the All Age Service this Sunday 9 January 2021 has been cancelled.

Please remember that you need to book your place: for St Stephen’s with Lynn Mears (537190) and for St Leodegar’s with Joan Duberley (787801). Don’t assume that you will have a space because you have been coming to church regularly – you still need to book!
 

If you are not able to attend for any reason, PLEASE let Lynn or Joan know! They keep a waiting list for services that have been fully booked, and can let people know they have a place if you cancel your booking in time.

We are continuing to record our Holy Communion Services.

We are legally allowed to continue with our church services while we are in Tier 4. The Leadership Team is aware that some people feel that their safety and health could be at risk in church, in the light of the new, fast spreading virus. For others, worshipping in church with fellow church members is very important for their spiritual or mental wellbeing..

The Leadership Team is meeting on 6 January 2021 to consider whether it is wise to continue meeting or whether services should be suspended for the time being.

We shall keep you informed if there are any changes to church services via email or social media

We wish you a truly blessed and healthy 2021!

Stephen led Sunday’s Holy Communion Service, celebrating Epiphany. A beautiful start to the New Year.

The service has been recorded and can be viewed on our YouTube channel on this link: https://youtu.be/9_zsKqCccEw

A reminder that the closing date for the February 2021 issue of connect is coming up soon – on Saturday 9 January 2021.
