Services During February
Following meetings of all three Parochial Church Councils during the second week of January, decisions were taken to suspend all service until mid March in view of the high number of Covid-19 cases and the infectiousness of the new variants. However, Funerals will go ahead in church following Covid-19 guidelines. Only emergency weddings are permitted at present.
Sunday Services
Although we cannot meet together in person, we continue to stream a recorded service each Sunday. You can find the link in the News and Prayer Update or email Patricia on pmrobinson51@gmail.com
New this Lockdown is a live Zoom Service every Sunday which you can join from 10.15 ready to begin at 10.30. There is time to chat before the service and afterwards everyone is welcome to stay on and have a cup of coffee or tea together - we use this modern technology to full enabling us to chat in smaller groups for some of the time.
The Storytelling Service continues on the 2nd and 4th Sundays as a recorded service with all the usual content and craft suggestions.

Our Reader, Chris Stanisstreet has organised a Prayer Chain which will be done by email mainly but also and telephone. The idea behind this is that when a prayer request is made it is passed on by telephone by the people on the list who then pray for the particular
situation. If you would like to be involved in the loop or would like to make a prayer request, please let them know.

A lot of contact can take place by telephone. This is a good way to help people especially those who live alone. It is also something that those over 70 or at risk can help with. Please let us know if you would like to help in this way or if you would like to receive help.
Please contact Philip and Patricia at the Vicarage about any of the above:
Tel: 01565 830 595; Mobile: 07854 418488 or
