St. Barnabas is open for worship
Fr. Bernard write
Greetings again from St B's, at the end of a week when we were able at last to open the Church for public services again! There are obviously still differences, and things we cannot yet do (like sing), but it was still lovely to be able to hold services with people present in the flesh, and it was great to see so many of you!
This Sunday we will once again be open for the usual services: which is to say, there will be a Eucharist at 8 am and at 10 am, and Evensong (or, really, said Evening Prayer) at 6 pm. We will live-stream our 10 am Eucharist on the Facebook page also, as usual. It will be the same service as last week, which is on the Church website.
One thing I need to warn you about, if you are intending to come tomorrow. We have had a patch in the car park where the new soakaway went, re-tarmacked today. It has been coned off, but it stretches all the way across the car park. I will try to remember to open the hall door up the steps, so that you can get into the Church through the hall rather than having to jump across the tarmac, and it may have set by tomorrow anyway: we hope so. But just be careful when you come! The cones will still be out.
Also, of course, please remember to use the hand wash as you enter and leave the Church, and to sit where the service sheets are placed, keeping six feet from others.
This Sunday, Mike Finney is preaching, and it will be lovely to see him again and to hear from him. I will be away in the evening, so Peter Miller is kindly leading Evening prayer, as he has done before, of course. There will be no services on Monday or Tuesday this week, and we will receive Eric's body into Church on Wednesday: all of these details are in the Cross and Crown that Kate has sent out from the office. Holler if you didn't get one by email and would like one!
Eric Evan's Funeral will also be streamed on the parish Facebook page so that his church family can be part of this service.
Whether you will be present in body or in spirit, I look forward very much to worshipping with you tomorrow, and rejoice that we have once again the opportunity to do so.
With love and prayers
