What’s ahead

Our churches will be open for public worship from 6 December 2020. We have yet to receive official guidance from the Church of England. The Conference Call/Zoom service will continue at 10.00am.

A service of Holy Communion will take place at Loxbeare this week and Cruwys Morchard on 13th December at 11.15am. Please book seats via the church office, by 11.00am on Friday. If you wish to use your church for private prayer, please contact your local church warden.

There are several lay-led services planned over the next few weeks. Please book seats for these services via the Church Wardens.

Calverleigh are holding a Carol Service at 3.00pm on 13th December (and again on 20th December).

On Wednesday 16th December there will be Carol Singing at 6.00pm at Cruwys Morchard in the graveyard. Everyone is very welcome. Please wrap up warm and bring a torch!

Further services will be published in our supplement. But all services may alter, depending on government restrictions. Please check the website for up to date information.

Online Services

Our Christmas Online Celebration is nearly finished and should be on the website next week. Do please watch it and share it with others. Stephen has also given the flower festival a make-over – by adding some music! Seeing all those beautiful flowers may well help cheer us up this winter. We are extremely grateful to Stephen Roche and Dave Burton for making this happen.

Don’t forget you can listen the Sunday service on the website on the new ‘Past Services’ page. We will be recording every service from now on so you can catch up or listen again.

Bible Study

There will be no more Zoom Bible Studies in December. They will resume again in the new year. More details to follow.

Church Office

Steve will be working in the Church Office again from 7th December at the usual times.

Justin Montague

It has been great to have Justin with us on placement. Having him with us has been a real blessing. Sadly, this has now come to an end. We will continue to pray for Justin and his future ministry.

Claire Curtis

It’s always good to have something to look forward to, and we look forward to welcoming Claire as our curate in September 2021. Let us pray for Claire and her family as she finishes her studies and prepares to join us in the Mission Community. Roll on 2021!

Lord, in the busyness of this season, please help me to be still, to be ready to listen and to open my heart to you. Maranatha. Come, Lord Jesus.

With my love and prayers,

Steph
