Trinity is the longest period in the Christian calendar, lasting just less than six months; that’s the only excuse I can come up with for the long delay since the last blog item…
Much has happened during this period. Despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic we have been able to reopen the church for services although with restrictions relating to social distancing, face protection and sanitisation. All the churches in the Benefice have reopened and it has been wonderful to be able to meet each other again, despite the constraints. Two weddings have also taken place, although with reduced attendance. Today we celebrated the feast of St Luke at the Benefice communion service. Thank you to all those who attended and also to Christine and Marvin who led us.
Our APCM (annual parish church meeting), postponed from earlier in the year, took place on Monday at the church. The churchwardens were re-appointed and PCC members also elected. Their names are published here; so please don’t hesitate to contact any of them if you have questions, comments, complaints etc… The meeting was an opportunity for us to thank our Rector, Canon Christine, for her leadership during the past challenging seven months. The situation is unprecedented but, despite everything, she and the ministry team have found ways for us to continue to worship and we are all most grateful.
