In these uncertain times ahead we have the most amazing challenges to put in place. If your anything like me you might find online things daunting and unusual - preserver though, as staying in touch with families, team, friends and people who do and need our ministry is crucial.
I will be sharing some ideas on here from other dioceses and amazing children's resources which have now been available free for use to people at home and parishes putting things together. Please also keep an eye on the diocesan website as there will be a page of ideas and resources on there which you can access soon.
Please do continue to contact me if you need to or even just for a chat, Simon and I are going to try to work out how we can have live video coffee and chats for anyone who would like to dial in a join us, we just haven't worked out how we do that yet. Also if you call my work phone it has been redirected to my mobile so that I can pick up your calls remotely if needed. Please do call or ring on Skype (name is Emma Pettifer) if you would like to chat I am logged on hopefully will be available. Please don't be isolated, we are here for you and will help out where we can. God bless you all and stay safe
