"Come to me, all who labour and are burdened, and I will refresh you, says the Lord."
So says Jesus in today's Gospel. I hope to see many of you in church tomorrow to share the great feast of Holy Communion together - for me the first time with other people in 3 months, and for you the first time receiving. It's been a long hard time, and going back to church is not what we imagined or hoped for, but Jesus will be there in the bread, in the words of the gospel and in one another - and ultimately that is all that matters.
If you would like to reserve a seat please click here. There will also be places available on the door.
Of course many of you will not be able to come, because you are shielding or live far away. The mass will still be streamed on facebook, and although we cannot sing in church we have recorded some hymns for the streamed service. Today's service is brought to you by Clem, our preacher, Brenda, our intercessor, Stephen and William, our readers and Stephen, Anna, Clem, Charlotte and Fr Ben, our musicians.
Because the church is remaining open for private prayer after mass, there will be no zoom coffee or HI Kids this week.
Daily Mass will be at 9.30 from Monday to Thursday and then at 10.00 on Saturday. Everybody is welcome to come, no need to reserve a seat. These will all be live streamed, along with compline at 9.
With love and prayers,
Fr Ben
