Notices — The Feast of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary — Sunday 29th March

NOTICES:

ALL St Luke’s Enmore Sunday & Wed­nes­day church ser­vices have been can­celled until fur­ther notice.  A weekly ser­vice will be pos­ted online and access­ible via Face­book or You­Tube — our chan­nel is ‘St Lukes Enmore’ Please note: Due to broad­cast­ing copy­right restric­tions we are not able to play/sing the hymns and songs dur­ing the recor­ded ser­vice. The hymn num­bers and songs have been lis­ted for your own pur­pose to use at home.

Online ser­vices: As I expec­ted, the response has been var­ied to our online ser­vice held last week. Some have giv­en high praise while oth­ers have said “Its just not the same” which of course is true. The aim is to provide what we can in a form which is still dis­tinct­ively St Lukes. That’s what I am able to do. Ser­vices on Church prop­erty wheth­er inside or out­side are not allowed. I received this from the Bish­op on Monday:

I’ve had a few ques­tions about out­door churches and/or run­ning small non-pub­lic gath­er­ings in church on Sundays.  We advise you not to pro­ceed with ANY church gath­er­ings (indoor or out­door).  Bp Michael Stead
