We are reflecting on what it means to be church during lockdown and what that might say to us about how we are church after lockdown.
We have created a space to gather and share those reflections.
Let’s keep praying together
Our Morning Prayer and Compline are on this website and our Youtube Channel.
10.10 am and 9.00pm Monday – Sat
10:10 am
Every day we are pausing at 10:10am. Pausing to pray, to listen, to know we are part of something bigger than ourselves.
Some will read the bible, some will reflect on what they can see from their window.
And after the pause – to do something. Phone a friend, a neighbour, check in with someone you haven’t spoken to for a while.
Why not drop in for a cup of tea and a chat.
Every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday at 10am
Every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday the Vicarage will be virtually open for anyone to drop by between 10 and 11 a.m.
Why not prepare a cup of tea, sit in your favourite chair, click the link and you’ll find yourself in one of our video conference rooms with the Vicar and anyone else who has dropped by.
This is a virtual video conference. DO NOT turn up at the actual vicarages!!

In these unprecedented times, we are working hard to find imaginative solutions in a landscape that has been rapidly changing. Sometimes we get things right, and sometimes we miss the mark. I apologise that this has been the case regarding communion.
For those of you who have received wafers in a parcel, we would ask that you either consume them, or put them somewhere safe to bring back once we are able to be together again.
We are going to be sending out a new order of service for use during this time as either a simple service of the word or, on occasion, to help us to share an Agape meal together.
We're please you want to stay in touch. If you can fill in your name and email and make sure you get our semi-regular news and updates.
