The
church will remain open for anyone who would like some quiet time there.
Father Stephen will be available for any one who wishes to speak with him and
if you wish to do so, please contact either Chris or Janet and we will pass the
message on to him.
Not
the same, we know, but if the broadcasts continue, there is usually Sunday
Worship at 8.10am on Radio 4, Songs
of Praise, 1.15pm on Sundays BBC
One. The BBC has also announced it is
launching a virtual church service on Sundays .The virtual church service will
take place on Sunday mornings across local radio in England , initially led by the
Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby. The BBC will also aim to broadcast a
weekly Sunday morning church service on BBC One, but this will be subject to
outside broadcast capacity. On top of that, the broadcaster has also said it’s
exploring how to support “other religions and denominations, including in the
run-up to Ramadan.”
There are also programmes with a religious theme to be found on BBC iplayer and more on BBC Sounds.
A
'thought for the week', based on the Scriptural readings of the day, and
perhaps the Collect and other suitable prayers, will be posted regularly to the
church website by Father Stephen so that folk can at least access these as an
aid to their own devotions and reflections. We are hoping that the first
of these, on the theme of the Annunciation, will be available by Mothering
Sunday.
The Diocese are hoping to put some
material coming on-line in the near future for those who have internet
access.
Dear All,
We have lots of students who would love to become
pen-pals with elderly members of your congregation who are self-isolating.
God bless,
Austen Hindman, Head Teacher, Bishop Luffa
