Update on restrictions- The Prime Minister’s announcement that most remaining restrictions are to be withdrawn from July 19th has caused a great deal of excitement but has also raised a lot of questions. We are awaiting detailed guidance from the Church of England which will be available by the end of next week. What we do know is that from July 19th, congregational singing will be permitted and there will be no limit on the size of choirs. Regulations on social distancing and face coverings will be withdrawn. The common cup will be permitted and it is possible that we will no longer be required to keep a record of those attending church.
However there will be real wisdom in phasing these measures in, partly for public health reason and partly so that we each feel confident in attending worship.
Following next week’s 10.45 am service (18th) you are invited to stay behind for a brew and a short consultation on how we may lift the restrictions we presently have in place at St Nicholas. If you are not able to attend the consultation but would like your views to be heard, please phone/email the Vicar this coming week. It would be helpful if PCC members could attend this consultation.
Keep us, good Lord, under the shadow of your mercy in this time of uncertainty and distress.
Sustain and support the anxious and fearful and lift up all who are brought low;
that we may rejoice in your comfort knowing that nothing can separate us from your love
in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.
Monday 19th July - The Vicar will be serving tea, coffee and scones in the Vicarage garden from 2.00 pm until 4.00 pm and you’re welcome to pop along! It’s just an opportunity to be together and enjoy some company as we begin to make steps towards living in a different way with the virus. If the weather lets us down we’ll transfer to the Broadway Rooms. Hope you can come!
