Good afternoon

Please find attached the weekly notices and readings https://wheathill.files.wordpress.com/2020/10/2020-11-01-weekly-notices-and-readings.pdf

I am no longer printing a paper copy for all who are in church, since the words for Psalm etc are now on the screen in church.  I will bring some copies particularly for those for whom seeing the screen is a challenge and some of the non-digital members of the community.

Headlines:
Worship this Sunday 10:30am All Saints Kingweston includes commissioning Clive Durham as a Lay Worship Assistant
Monday 2 November 7pm all Souls service at St Peter’s Lydford, if possible please let Jane Durham know you intend to come before Saturday morning, but we will have some additional seats for those who have not contacted us

As usual the 10:30am service will be livestreamed (assuming the technology is in compliant mode!)

You will be able to find the livestream here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9tB_kpGA8SZwwyE9AmKvmg/videos?view=2&flow=grid
If the first stream drops out, stay on this part of the webpage and the new stream should appear as soon as Clive is able to get into it!

If we have a total stream failure (or need to edit the stream after the event) then the service will be recorded and uploaded, and will be found here

Assuming that the expected announcement of a new lockdown comes at some point this evening to start on Thursday, we will expect to go ahead with the All Souls service on Monday evening at 7pm, livestreamed.  Decisions regarding the various acts of remembrance will be made this week and I will send an email out on Thursday with plans for Friday, Sunday and Tuesday once we know what we’re looking at.

Worship for Remembrance and Acts of Remembrance (all outside at the respective War Memorials please come prepared for the weather etc):
Friday 6 November 10:50am Keinton Mandeville
Sunday 8 November 9:30am East Lydford
10:45am Benefice in West Lydford
Wednesday 11 November 10:50am Barton St David (enter from the Playing field side)
Two questions for you:
Do you have a screen from when you used to show cine film, or slides?  If so would you be willing to lend/donate it to one of our churches to use for projection (so we don’t have to cart quite so much stuff week by week)

Would you be willing to learn how to livestream?  we’re about to take delivery of a new camera which should make things simpler.  It would be good if it didn’t totally depend upon Clive, e.g. when we go on holiday but also it would be good to have a bigger pool of people who can do it.  Clive will talk to/train anyone who is willing to find out more

Thank you

Best wishes

Faith ‘n Fun on 25th October was on the theme of love and light

We started by thinking about ways that we sometimes fail to show love or to act in a way that is loving

After saying sorry for those things, and seeing how loudly we could say ‘Thank you’ we used glow sticks to create things that show love and help us to walk in light. You can see some of our creations below:

Then using fire (another form of light of course) we toasted marshmallows!

Please see attached the reflection and notice sheet for this week

Headlines: Worship Sunday 25 October is:

8:30am Morning Prayer Barton St David

Welcome to this week’s mailing

Headlines: 

Worship on Sunday is 10:30am in Kingweston

Tuesday  2pm Barton St David Annual Church meeting, 7:30pm Bible Book Club meets (we’re discussing Nehemiah and the details along with Zoom details are attached to this email) https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84091902423?pwd=cFBtUGpBeHRDN1lEaDNMSWd4emxzZz09

Wednesday 7pm our deanery is holding a vigil to pray for Bishop Peter and his wife Jane and his ongoing treatment for Leukemia.  There is a poster attached to this and the Zoom details are on the Zoom details document.  Please note that although the Zoom details stipulate that the meeting begins at 5pm, that is purely for us to access it, we will not start to admit people from the waiting room until 6:30, we have space for 500 so we shouldn’t have too much of a problem with space!

Please also note the arrangements for Remembrance (particularly Sunday 8 November) and for All Souls, we do need to know if you’re planning to come to that service, it will also be livestreamed.

Best wishes
