Life at Christ's Church

Hello Everyone

We do hope you have managed to read the Vicar’s Blog and watch Rev’d Julia Gordon’s video which were posted on this website a couple of days ago.

We are hoping to bring you updates as, and when they are required about the life and times of our church during this time of great uncertainty and worry.

The news is we have been informed by the Diocese that APCMs (AGM) which normally have to be held before the 31 May each year for churchwardens, deanery synod reps and PCC members to be elected must now be held by 31 October this year.  This means that our present  PCC and officers will continue in post until we can actually have a meeting.

Archbishop of Canterbury to lead first national virtual Church of England Service

The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby is to lead a national broadcast as the Church of England responds to the challenge of becoming a “different sort of church” in the face of the coronavirus crisis.

The service including prayers, hymns and a short sermon will be broadcast online by the Church of England and broadcast across 39 local BBC radio stations this Sunday, Mothering Sunday as congregations across the country find new ways of sharing worship together after public church services were put on hold.

National Day of Prayer

This Mothering Sunday, 22 March, all major denominations are calling all churches to a National Day of Prayer and Action.

At such a time as this, when so many are fearful and there is great uncertainty, we are reminded of our
dependence on our loving heavenly Father and the future that He holds.

At 7pm this Sunday, light a candle in the windows of your homes as a visible
symbol of the light of life, Jesus Christ, our source and hope in prayer.

We have the great privilege and freedom to be able to call upon God, wherever we are, individually and corporately, for healing in our country.

Please pray for all in leadership at this time, making decisions about the containment of the Covid-19 virus, for those working in health and social care, and especially for the most vulnerable, whether elderly or those with underlying health conditions.
