Hello from the Rector

Dear friends,

I hope this finds you well. I can't believe another week has passed already - doesn't time seem to be moving strangely at the moment?

We tried Skype last week for after service coffee but it was a bit glitchy so this week we're going to use Zoom instead which is a bit simpler to use. We will go for 11am again for half an hour just to say hi to each other.

To join in click on the link below and follow the instructions:

For ease on Sundays, our Facebook service will go live at 10.15am every week so that you know when it's going to start! Those of you that prefer an earlier service time can watch the service from 8am on the church website here: http://bcjj.org.uk/category/sundays/

To watch live notices and our live Thursday 7pm Said Eucharist there is now a single page to visit: http://bcjj.org.uk/live-notices-services/

Below is a roundup of some highlights from our website and social media this week that you may have missed.

See you online soon, every blessing,

Bryony

Let us pray:

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.

Do you have friends and relatives who don’t use the internet?

This new phone line nicely complements our Dial a Sermon system so now you can attend church over the phone!

For Rev’d Bryony’s sermon of the week from the parishes of Barlborough and Clowne dial 01246 388487.

For hymns and prayers and the national Sunday service dial 0800 804 8044, read more here: https://www.churchofengland.org/more/media-centre/news/archbishop-canterbury-launches-free-dial-worship-phone-line-during

While our churches are closed we cannot receive all the monetary gifts we usually do, here’s how you can help by joining the Parish Giving Scheme and giving by Direct Debit.

A regular gift really helps our cash flow, prevents the need for us to count cash and go to the bank (thereby keeping us safe) and the scheme automatically claims Gift Aid.

It gives all of us peace of mind – you’re not worrying about your envelopes with your cash gift piling up while church is closed and we’re not worrying about loss of income – it’s a win win!

Thank you for your help. Click here for more details: http://bcjj.org.uk/2020/04/28/giving-to-church-during-the-pandemic-and-beyond/
