Notices — St Augustine of Canterbury — Sunday 24th May

NOTICES:

Return of 10am Wed­nes­day Heal­ing Ser­vice- this will be held in the church to allow for dis­tan­cing and lim­ited to 10 people as per cur­rent Cov­id 19 guidelines.  Please do not just turn up.  Any­one wish­ing to par­ti­cip­ate will need to con­tact Fr Jeff pri­or to the ser­vice 

Update – Wednesday’s ser­vice (20/05) was a joy, but we are lim­ited under the present guidelines to 10 wor­ship­pers.  In the second stage of the lift­ing of restric­tions this will increase to 20 per­sons.   I would ask that people con­tin­ue to noti­fy me of their inten­tion to come along.  The clergy have been noti­fied that because of our vul­ner­able mem­bers, we should expect that recor­ded ser­vices will con­tin­ue to be our main man­ner of wor­ship dur­ing stages 1 and 2.  Fr. Jeff

Con­firm­a­tion – Booked in for Sunday 23^rd August: (but wait­ing to be advised).  Bp Michael Stead will be here for con­firm­a­tion.  Any­one who is not con­firmed is invited to go through the pro­cess of pre­par­a­tion with Fr Jeff.  Please speak to Fr Jeff about this. 

Zoom Morn­ing Tea – 11.30am Sunday Morn­ing:  These are a great way to catch up with a num­ber of parish­ion­ers.  If you are not famil­i­ar with the tech­no­logy, all you have to do to join a ses­sion is to click on the email link that is sent out each week. 

Food for our little friends — Don’t for­get to keep your cooked food scraps, fruit peel­ings, tea leaves and cof­fee grounds for the par­ish worm farms.  (No cit­rus, dairy or meat).  You can still drop this off out­side the office — dur­ing office hours.  If you would like some worm cast­ings for your garden you can leave a buck­et or bag at the rect­ory with your details.  Our little fer­til­izer factor­ies have been doing a won­der­ful job and the fruit of their labours is now avail­able. 

Any notices for the ser­vice book­let will need to be sub­mit­ted to the Par­ish Office email by Tues­day even­ing at the latest.  This is so we can post out the weekly ser­vice book­let earli­er.
