RIP

Our Harvest Thanksgiving service will be Morning Prayer, Sunday 4th October at 1030 am. If you are bringing produce to the service, please place it in the porch and do NOT bring it into church. This will minimise movement. All harvest gifts will be donated to the Foodbank in Glascote. They have informed us that they would very much appreciate the following items which they are short of: 

Tins of Fruit

Tins of Rice Pudding

Tins of Custard

Tins of Meat

Squash (fruit drink)

2 in 1 Shampoo and Conditioner

Shower Gel

Deodorant

Toothbrushes

Toilet Rolls

Please note that the NHS Track and Trace app is now available from the Apple store or Google Play store. If you have downloaded it we now have the QR code in the entrance of the church. You simply click on the app to open it and select 'Venue Check-in' and point the camera at the code. That's it!  

We are pleased to announce that we will be returning to regular public worship from Sunday 2nd August. We have asked for followers of our website and facebook pages to advise us of their preference for the form of worship and there is no clear preference. We have decided that during August we will alternate between Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer and continue to provide the service of Holy Communion on-line as we have done throughout the pandemic. The first and third Sunday in each month will be Morning Prayer whilst the second and fourth will be Evening Prayer. Where there is a fifth Sunday it will be Morning Prayer. The first Sunday of the next month will resume the cycle with Morning Prayer. This will be kept under review and may change in subsequent months if the majority of people request it. The accompanying calendar shows the dates and times of the services for August. We look forward to seeing you at one of our services in the near future.
It should be noted that the Church of England, acting on Government advice, strongly advise that everyone wears a face covering in church and that no singing is allowed at present. Hand sanitisers are provided on entry into the church and you are required to clean your hands with them on entering and leaving the church. If you need to adjust your face covering during the service, we request that you carry hand sanitiser to clean your hands after doing so. We will be recording those who attend the service for the purpose of the NHS ‘Track and Trace’ service and request that you provide us with a contact telephone number. Can we ask you to please maintain social distance, preferably of two meters when walking up to church and especially when going through the church entrance, unless you live at the same address. Service sheets will be printed off for you to collect on the way in – you are requested to take them home with you and not leave them in the building. We shall be cleaning the church thoroughly after each service. This will allow us to open the church each Wednesday for private prayer/reflection. A collection plate or box will be provided at the font for any offertories as we are unable to distribute a collection plate at this time due to the regulations. We are actively encouraging people to donate their offertory by electronic means or by cheque to Roy, so that we do not have to handle cash if possible.
