Midweek Holy Communion - Anointing for Healing

Monthly. Every Fourth Wednesday at for 1 hour
St Andrew's Church, Cheddar
Church Street Cheddar, BS273RF, United Kingdom

Holy Communion with focus on Healing. A shortened service of Holy Communion with an opportunity to be anointed with oil for healing. During the prayers we particularly pray for those on our pew notes especially those who have asked for our prayers over a longer period whose names appear on the prayer tree. As always, if you are uncomfortable with receiving anointing or communion there is no pressure to do so.

Safeguarding

Our Benefice is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO). Our Diocese’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our PSO. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please see the individual Parish pages for the Parish Safeguarding Officers details. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority’s children or adult social care services.
