Dear friends
Tomorrow we had been planning to hold a Team Service in St Nicholas church Porton, using a Celtic Eucharist and offering prayer for healing. Clearly this will not now be happening in the way we had anticipated just a few short weeks ago.
As we are getting more used to accessing information and 'events' online, I am forwarding the email sent out by the Church of England yesterday (below) and invite you to join in with the service led by the Archbishop of York tomorrow, via the link shown below.
We can, and should, still be praying for one another, for those in authority and who carry responsibility for trying to resolve the current crisis, and particularly we must keep praying for those in our NHS and other medical and scientific communities seeking to care for the sick and dying, and searching for a vaccine to help bring healing and restoration. Thank you for all you are doing to care for those around you, in safe and responsible ways.
Finally, for now, remember British Summer Time begins this evening, so put your clocks forward one hour before you go to bed tonight. Given current circumstances, the consequences of not remembering to do this will probably be less bothersome than in other years (!) , but I am sure we would all like to enjoy the lighter evenings, and not miss programmes on the radio or television because our clocks were wrong...!
with prayers and blessings
