National Day of reflection. We’re supporting the National Day of Reflection on 23rd March, the first anniversary of the UK lockdown, to commemorate the tragic loss of life and to stand together with everyone who’s grieving. The Church bell will toll at 11.59 am followed by 1 minute of silence in church. Prayers will then be said for all who are bereaved. There will be yellow ribbons tied to the entrance gates of the church as a sign of our prayers and support.
‘How deep the Father’s love’. Lead by Bishop Philip this will focus on the seven last words spoken by Jesus on the cross. Each half hour will focus on one of the sayings with a short talk, some music, some prayer and a time of silent reflection. People are free to join or leave on the hour or the half hour. Please contact the Vicarage for the link to Zoom.

God of compassion, be close to those who are ill, afraid or in isolation. In their loneliness, be their consolation; in their anxiety, be their hope; in their darkness, be their light; through him who suffered alone on the cross, but reigns with you in glory, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
