Following a Risk Assessment, it was decided that we could provide a socially distanced Carol Service and then we just had the weather to worry about. Despite rain at lunch time the weather cleared, and we were able to go ahead with the service.Details of the service and pictures from it can be found here:
During our morning Eucharist today, 20th December, we were treated to the Nativity, or part of it, by the Children's church members. It was absolutely wonderful and thoroughly enjoyed by all in Church. Well done to all involved.The image shows the main cast, playing Mary and Joseph with the Angel and a shepherd and the 2 narrators in the background.
<div><div>The Mixed Blessings Music Group, a combination of the St John's and the OLQP Music Groups, have created a socially distanced Carol Service that people can join in with and enjoy for Christmas as so many normal Church activities have been cancelled or dramatically changed due to the current Government regulations.</div></div><div><div>So if you would like to join Mixed Blessings in their Carol Concert follow the link below, all words to the carols and readings are displayed on the screen.</div></div>The video can be found here on YouTube:
Welcome back to our church, we are open again following the lifting of the second lockdown, and we look forward to welcoming you all to our church services. Please remember that under Tier 2 rules there should be NO socialising between different households in church, we hope and pray that this will change soon but until then we must all play our part in stopping the spread of COVID 19.We are working on the main services that we usually hold in the run up to Christmas and will let you know via this page what we are going to do. For the most popular services, such as the carol concert these maybe online as we still cannot sing in church. So please like this page so you are kept informed as the programme of services evolves.In the meantime you can find out more about our normal services on our main website or keep up-to-date with what is going to happen during Advent and Christmas on our Facebook page, links to both are below.https://www.stjohninbedwardine.co.uk/events/ and https://www.facebook.com/stjohninbedwardine
