Dear Friends,
You may be aware that as part of the national lockdown, we will not be meeting in church for the next four Sundays. While it is a great sadness not to be able to meet together, we are determined to praise our gracious Lord.
I invite you to join us for our online services this Sunday and I will send you a link later in the week. You’re also invited to join us for a virtual coffee time to meet and chat together afterwards.
This Sunday is also Remembrance Sunday so there will be a small wreath-laying act of Memorial, both in St Mary’s Churchyard and at the Gobowen Memorial, from about 10:50am. We have been asked to discourage people from attending in person at these events. The full guidance can be viewed here https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/local-authority-preparations-for-remembrance-sunday/local-authority-preparations-for-remembrance-sunday
At this time, we need to remember that we are not alone or forgotten:
"He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him. Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing." (1 Thessalonians 5:10–11)
May we encourage one another and stand firm in our Risen Christ.
With my prayers for you all,
Steve
