This means you must:

• limit contact with other people
• keep your distance if you go out (2 metres apart where possible)
• Do not leave home if you or anyone in your household has symptoms.
• Wash your hands regularly
• Avoid touching your face
• If you cough or sneeze use a tissue and dispose of it.
• Wipe down or disinfect surfaces that may be touched by others – e.g. door handles
• Isolate if you have symptoms and go on line to www.111.nhs.uk or call 111 for advice

 

If you need help, are lonely or simply need to speak to someone – contact your Pastoral Visitor, a Steward or Abe

Above all – Stay Alert & Safe

Friends, Friends, as usual, I hope that this will find you well. My letter is drawn from my daily prayers (22.05.2020) from the Pray as You Go. It began with the singing of Bach’s Cantata number 82 ‘Ich Habe Genug, ’I have enough’, echoing the words of Simeon: I have taken the Saviour, the hope of the Gentiles, into my arms (Luke 2:25–35).

Prayer of the Day

All creation blesses you, O Lord. Exiles offer you worship. Pilgrims hallow your name. Saints adore you. Humanity offers its praise. And we your servants lift our hearts and voices to you in joy and thanksgiving. Amen.

Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)

Gracious God,
you are almighty and greater than anything we can imagine,
and yet you are a friend and closer to us than every breath we take.
You are forever generous
and there are no boundaries to your love.
In a world that is forever changing, you remain constant.
Help us to remain firm in you.
As your people, may we seek to build each other up.
May walking together strengthen our pilgrimage,
trusting in Christ?s name, and by the power of the Spirit. Amen.
