Good Morning everyone. Following last night’s news we are now having to keep the church building closed. We had hoped to keep it open but we are committed to following all the guidelines and ensuring we do everything we can to minimise the spread of this virus. We continue to be active on this website and on Facebook to try to ensure we can all continue to be together – although we are physically parted.On St Eds Facebook page we will do some live streaming at various points so watch this space.In the meantime we continue to pray and please DM us (via the St Peter's Facebook page) if there is anyone we can pray for specifically. May God’s peace fill us all.Rev Paul, Rachel and the Ministry team
In these uncertain times we need to put our trust and faith in Jesus.Genesis 9:16-17 - part of the message from God to Noah16"Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth." 17 So God said to Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant I have established between me and all life on the earth." From New International Version , Copyright 2011-2019 BiblicaIf you would like to share your trust in Jesus you might like to draw your own rainbow, or print the version attached to this news item, and then put it in your window to share this message with others.
The Ministry Team for the benefice of Taverham with Ringland will be delivering a number of services each week via the St Edmund's Facebook page.We can now confirm the times of three services as:Sunday Worship at 10.30am Sunday Club at 6.30pm Wednesday Morning Worship at 10.30am There will be a service on Wednesday evening - though the time is yet to be confirmed.We hope to soon confirm the arrangements for RSPACE to continue to 'meet' via technology. RSPACE being for children in years 7 upwards (aged 11 to 18).We hope that in these difficult times these services will help us to all to continue to pray together and stay connected, In St Edmund's there are some prayer cards. You may like to take a moment to read the prayer from one of them (please see below)"Jesus is before us, Preparing the way.Jesus is behind us, Helping us, come what may.Jesus is beside us, He's here with us today.Jesus is always with us, Every hour of every day."
We have put together a short form of worship which you may like to use on Sunday 22nd March. As you use this short form of worship you may like to light a candle to help you to focus on Jesus the Light of the world, who is with us wherever we are.So much of our lives are not normal at the moment and whilst we cannot meet together we can still pray together. At 10.30 tomorrow morning (22nd March Mothering Sunday) we are going to do our first ever Facebook live stream (on the St. Edmunds Church Facebook page) so if you fancy joining us then via the wonders of technology that would be wonderful!We hope you will find the attached a helpful resource.With our love and prayers,Rev Paul and the Ministry Team
