Parish Magazine

We were unable to print and distribute the April Parish Magazine in the usual way due to Coronavirus, so we are posting it here so that you can either view it online (click on the picture) or download and print it (links at the bottom of this post).

Please be aware that parts of the magazine are now outdated, because of the fast moving national situation, for example the pages 16 and 17 state that several churches are open for private prayer. All Churches are now locked, in response to Church of England and Government Guidance. There is no rota of services, as all services in Church buildings are currently suspended. We are however continuing to be Church via the medium of Phone Church – see article for more details.

You can also download it here, together with the adverts. If you set your printer to print landscape, double sided, flip SHORT side, you will, once folded in the middle have a normal A5 folded magazine.

Using Phone Church

So that we can continue worshipping together, even in self isolation, we’ve been trying out meeting through conference calling, which also has an online option, so some of us can see each other as well as hear each other.

Update: with effect from 4 July, we are switching from Webex to Zoom. Please see the instructions below for how to join us or click here to go straight there.

Services take place every Sunday at 11am, every Wednesday at 11am and every Friday at 7pm. The Wednesday and Friday services also offer space to connect and catch up with each other as well as worship, and you are most welcome to join us. You will need to access the service sheet from our Resources page, and the instructions on how to join in on the call are here for phone users, here for internet users and here for ipad and app users.

Hope to hear and/or see you sometime soon.

Coronavirus and funerals

Sadly, due to Coronavirus and the restrictions of social distancing, the way in which we are able to conduct funeral services has had to change radically. If you are currently trying to plan a funeral, we have prepared a guidance document which will hopefully answer many of your questions, and is available to download here.

Your officiating minister will be able to help you with the more detailed questions you may have, and please do accept our sincere condolences at this very difficult time.
