Sunday 24th May 2020

Hi folks

Here's an update on this weekend's service.  We are going to be hosting our first (in my time anyway) drive-in church service!  We will gather at 11am, staying in our cars, and join together as we worship God.  It will still be streamed online - so you can stay in your home if you feel more secure.

There are a few serious guidlines that we will need you to observe:

1. ONLY ATTEND IF YOU FEEL WELL ENOUGH AND FEEL SECURE ENOUGH TO DO SO!!!  We prefer that you were well rather than feeling obligated to be out.

2. Don't offer lifts to people outside your family - the social distancing guidelines are still in force.

3. Please park where you are directed to, the church and glebe wardens will be "seating" everyone!

4. STAY IN YOUR CAR!!

5. STAY IN YOUR CAR!!

6. Feel perfectly free to wind your windows down, and to shout over to those parked around you, but please, please observe rules 4 and 5!

7. You will be given a service sheet at the service - please do not throw it out of the car on the way home.  Dispose of the sheets responsibly.

8. When we are leaving, do so in an organised manner - again the church wardens will direct you out.  Tea and coffee will be available after the service in your own house - we can't serve it in the carpark.

9. Please feel free to attend in comfortable clothes, no one will comment on your attire. We don't even expect you to have washed your car!!

10.  Join in with the service - while there will be no hymns, there will be lots of ways to join in.

I konw that the rules look fairly stringent, but there should be lots of fun and it will be a great way to start our return to church.  We don't know how long it will be before we can come back together in the church building, but that doesn't mean we can't be creative in our worship.  You never know - we might think this could happen over the summer when we get back to normal!!

See you tomorrow.

Rector

Hiroshima Remembrance

Hi folks Today, 6th August 2025, is the 80th anniversary since the United States of America dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Shortly afterwards, they dropped a similar device on another Japanese city of Nagasaki. Between the two events, over 200,000 people died, and Japan surrendered - ending the Second World War. The ripples from these two horrific events are still felt today, and the lessons from them are more relevant in today's world than ever before! Each day we hear about the tensions around the world regarding nations developing nuclear weapons, threatening to release havoc upon the world. Although the weapons are often referred to as deterants, the danger is that the whole world could be effectively ended within minutes if someone decided to release their particular weapon upon an enemy state! I pray that today reminds the world leaders about the absolute devastation that these weapons bring. They do not distinguish between combatants or civilians. ...

August Hymns and Readings

 Hi folks Here's the next list for the readings, readers and hymns for our services throughout August. There are five Sundays this month, and in our normal pattern, our fifth Sunday will be a Cafe Church service in the Parish Hall. As ever - this is just a guide, if you need to swap your date - just let someone know. Thank you to everyone who has volunteered to read each month, and if you'd like to join the list, please let the church wardens or the Rector know. If we need to do so, both David and the Rector are more than happy to fill in for any given reading!
