We have taken the difficult decision to 
close our churches until further notice
we will continue to worship on Zoom details below.
Bishop Nick said earlier last year;
“This is a massive challenge. We are a people of faith and hope. We will rise to it, even though it means walking where we have never walked before".
‘Unprecedented’ is a word we have heard a lot this last couple of weeks and no doubt will over the coming weeks.
Can I encourage us to all live out the gospel of God’s gracious love in our response to others;
Be good neighbours, be thankful, be kind.
Paul got it so right when he said 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude.
It does not insist on its own way;
it is not irritable or resentful. It does not rejoice in wrongdoing but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things,
believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.
We urge everyone to follow the instructions given
by the Prime Minister to stay in their homes in a national effort to limit the transmission of COVID-19.
Services of Daily prayers can be found on the link on our worship page.
Also the invitation to pray morning prayer at home at 10.00 am each day.
https://www.facebook.com/thechurchofengland/ keep up to date.
Can I encourage you to keep connected with each other; by which ever means is appropriate.
Follow the government’s guidance. Stay Home, help the NHS, Save Lives.
Most of all keep in touch. Martin

Prayer
Keep us, good Lord, under the shadow of your mercy
in this time of uncertainty and distress.
Sustain and support the anxious and fearful,
and lift up all who are brought low;
that we may rejoice in your comfort
knowing that nothing can separate us from your love
in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.
