With the end of Lockdown on 2nd December, we will once again be able to have both Morning Worship(10.30am) and Evening Prayer at (4.00pm) services in Church commencing Sunday 6th December
We are now in a position to say that there will be 3 main services at Christmas.
24th December 4—4.45 pm An outdoor Carols round the Crib service.
This will be a family service and children are encouraged to come dressed as Kings, Angels and Shepherds. The service will be outdoors. Please wrap up warm and we expect that a number of people will need to stand on the grass, so wearing wellies may be a good idea!There is no option to take the service indoors, so we stay out and sing regardless of weather!
We will be singing carols, so it will be extremely important that individuals / groups try their best to stay 2metres away from eachother. Carol sheets will be given out to you when you arrive at the service.
24th December 11.30-12.30pm Midnight Mass with Communion.
(The First Holy Communion of Christmas). The Service is expected to last for an hour.
Special arrangements will be in place to make this a Covid safe service. Thanks to those of you who have indicated that you would like to attend this service. This will be the first Coomunion service we have held since Lockdown first began and what better time to reintroduce it?
As with all of our services, we have limited capacity and although we do not wish to turn anyone away, it is clearly a case of safety first. It might help you to know that the Christmas Morning service also has Communion and there will be another service on Sunday 27th December. We hope to see you at one of these services at this most special time of the year.
25th December 10-11.00am Christmas Morning Service
Parish Communion for all the Family and a great way to begin your Christmas Day morning.
Please help us with our Planning!!
Because of all the restrictions in place, it is very hard for us to know how many people will attend each service. We would like you to tell us which services you are keen to come to and whether you are coming alone, with family or in a bubble. This will help with the planning for these services.
How can I help?
- In Church there are 'expression of interest,' sign up sheets. Simply fill in the sheet(s) to indicate which service you are coming to and who is coming with you, if relevant.
- Click here to send an email to Mike Buitekant stating:
- Your name and contact number
- Which services you wish to attend
- State if you are coming alone or with others (see above)
YOU ARE NOT SIGNING FOR A SEAT, THIS IS TO HELP US PLAN THE SERVICES AS CAREFULLY AS POSSIBLE.
Please don't sign up for all 3 services if it is not your real intention to attend them all.
It would really help us if you can either sign or email your intentions as soon as possible.
Sending your information by Wednesday 16th December would be great.
Thanks
✨ ✨We want to get as many of you in as we can.......SAFELY ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
