Hi there

A new ‘simplified’ bulletin is attached to this email, please let me know what you think.

Benefice Council met this week and we’ve decided to make a couple of adjustments to our worship around administration of Holy Communion.

We will now administer at the rail, of course if the rail is difficult for you to reach for whatever reason we will come to you. If you wish it is perfectly possible to stand at the rail rather than having to kneel down.

We will also offer the chalice for all as well as individual cups. If you wish to receive from the chalice, then please tell the person administering bread that you’d like the chalice and they will give you wine.

Our worship this week is:

8:30am Morning Prayer in Keinton Mandeville

10:30am Holy Communion in Lydford on Fosse.

Next Sunday is Harvest Festival, please do let Rachel know if you’re coming to the lunch so we can have an accurate assessment of numbers.

Thank you and best wishes

Jane
