Sunday 13 February

Good afternoon

Welcome to this week’s mailing.

The front page of the bulletin attached gives you information on how we’re going to share Communion Wine from this week. We are, unfortunately, not able to dedicate our new communion vessels as there has been a nationwide run on them, however we have interim provision for Benefice Services until such time as the vessels arrive.

Our worship this Sunday is a Benefice Service in Keinton Mandeville at 10:30am.

Please remember the Table Top sale in Keinton Village Hall on Saturday from 10:00am -2:00pm, so do come along to ensure this event is an opportunity for people from the community to gather together again after so long.

Sunday 20 February our worship is:

             8:30am Morning Prayer Barton St David

             10:30am Holy Communion Kingweston.

The Lent Course begins on Monday 7 March, at 2pm and 7:30pm, then on Monday afternoons and Wednesday evenings from 14 and 16 March, in The Rectory. All are welcome.

Best wishes

Sunday 30 January

Good afternoon.

Please find attached this week’s bulletin.

As you will be aware the government has removed the need for mandatory masks inside. At the last Benefice Council, we decided that we will continue to use masks for the moment. I know that some are desperate to have a ‘mask burning’ exercise, however the wearing of masks also helps others to feel safer in their worship and attendance at church. We will review this policy at our next meeting in March.

For the moment we also continue to administer Communion in One kind only, bread. However, from 13 February we plan to commence using small glasses, similar to those used by our Methodist friends and that will mean that we can all share in bread and wine. So, watch this space for details about that change!

Our worship on Sunday 30 January is a joint service of Holy Communion with our Methodist friends in Kingweston at 10:30am, and we look forward to seeing you there
