Hello from the Rector
Dear friends,
Happy Ascension Day!
This week we are joining in with the Global Wave of Prayer Thy Kingdom Come from Ascension Day until Pentecost, read this article here about what we're doing in our parishes: http://bcjj.org.uk/2020/05/20/thy-kingdom-come-join-us-for-the-stations-of-the-spirit-each-day-from-ascension-day-to-pentecost/
Please join us for our online live service for Ascension Day on our church website or Facebook Group this evening at 7pm (Thurs 21st May) - it will be available to view again after this time. I will be live but I will be adding some prerecorded elements - including two hymns played by Tom and Sarah Morton. Please do join us for this special festival service.
We will meet again for coffee at 11am on Sunday after morning worship on Zoom (provided it doesn't crash again! It wasn't us, it was a global problem when it didn't work last week so do persevere this week). Do give it a try, if you don't have access to the internet you can dial in to one of the phone numbers provided below and join in the meeting over the phone:

I am taking a week's holiday from Monday 25th - Friday 29th May for refreshment. Please, however, do contact me if there is an emergency, I will be at home (of course) and available.
I have created a dedicated Youtube channel for all our parishes' services (I was previously using my personal channel) so please do click on 'subscribe' on it to get notified when a new video goes up. On Sundays you can either go straight to Youtube or if you find it simpler, visit our website (as usual, the link will also be shared on Facebook).
I know some people are a little unfamiliar with Youtube and the things you can do to make the picture bigger etc. Please watch the short video below to find out how to add subtitles and make the video fill your screen when watching on our church website or on YouTube.
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.
