Dear All,

I hope that you are OK and coping with 'plan B',

At church tomorrow there is a service of Holy Communion at 9.30 am. The pew sheet is attached as a separate Notice Sheet and I am pleased to be able to share the link for our online Carol Service for this year called 'Sing the Story'..

The service this year has traditional and contemporary music, bible readings, prayers and reflections. It also features some lovely photos of our church buildings looking lovely and christmassy. Below is also the link for last year's online carol service which had more of a traditional feel. (Just in case you fancy watching it again.)

You will be aware that it is now mandatory to wear a face covering in places of worship. As we've been used to doing this at St John's we will carry on as we have been doing. We've also decided to suspend tea and coffee after the service for the time being to be on the safe side. At the moment we are hoping that all our planned events and services will still go ahead in the next few weeks. As you will be aware, things can change very quickly, so please listen out for any updates.

With prayers and best wishes

Carol
