Prayers needed for Family Service on 27th September

Although we can’t welcome people to worship in person in our beautiful church at present, we can still certainly worship together thanks to the wonders of modern technology.

This Sunday (27th September), being the fourth Sunday of the month, will be a pre-recorded Family Service, and we are looking for children to write a prayer, record it in landscape mode and send it to the Rector via WhatsApp if possible to 087 9091561 by Thursday evening at the latest.

Please encourage your children to take part – their prayers are a blessing to us all.

Rector’s address, Easter General Vestry Meeting 2020

In normal circumstances you could be forgiven for thinking that my annual address to the General Easter Vestry is somewhat repetitive.

As well as outlining the parish highlights of the year that is past, I always have a long list of people to thank for all the many and varied ways they contribute to the life of this parish and this community. While thanks are indeed due to many people once again, the circumstances of this year’s annual general Easter Vestry are anything but normal. Even the very fact that I’m writing this in September is extraordinary.

Shortened Easter General Vestry in Church on 2nd September at 8pm

The shortened Easter General Vestry will now be held in the context of a short worship, in order to get the necessary elections completed.

Wednesday 2nd September at 8pm in the Church.

I am asking that all registered members consider if they might be willing to act as a Diocesan Synod Member, Parochial Nominator, Member of the Select Vestry, or People’s Churchwarden. Your parish needs you – don’t make me beg 😉

If you would like more information on any of the above roles contact the Rector on 087 9091561

Thank You!

Wanted – children/teenagers to write and record a prayer

Wanted – children/teenagers to write and record a prayer to be used at this Sunday’s Family Service.

Please record in landscape mode and forward the finished product to the Rector via WhatsApp if possible (087 9091561) by Friday lunchtime.

This gives our young people an opportunity to take part in the service even if they cannot be physically present, and also cuts down on movement around the church during the service, part of our health and safety protocol.
