corona virus update

Dear Friends

Following yesterdays announcement of a third national lockdown, I have phoned all Churchwardens and Readers in order as a benefice to agree how to proceed. Although public worship is allowed legally to happen under strict safety precautions, by a clear majority the advise given to me is to be cautious. I am therefore suspending all acts of public worship in our five churches until further notice.This includes the cancelling of tomorrows planned service for Epiphany at Ingworth. Our church buildings remain open for the use of private prayer as before, and I encourage those able to do so. This decision will be reviewed in a few weeks

I do this with a heavy heart, but conscious that the safety of all is our first priority

The usual notes and sermon will be sent out to all on my e-mail list in time for each to use on Sunday

with my continuing love and prayers

Fr Brian
