My Mary’s
for Private Prayer
On Monday 28 June St Mary’s reopened for Private Individual Prayer, this is the first time since all churches were closed on for Public Worship on 17 March. It’s been a long time and it’s taken time to put the correct measures in place that allow us to take this first tentative steps towards the recovery to Public Worship.
The PCC have agreed unanimously to not reopen for Public Worship for the time being (in line with the guidance from the Church of England & the Diocese) and to continue with Private Prayer sessions through July and continue to ‘stream’ our services. You can read a letter about the reopening of churches in the Diocese from Bp Keith by clicking here. We are hoping to be open for some services at St Mary’s in August.
The dates and times of the Private Prayer sessions will be different each week in order to enable as many people as possible to attend. For the coming week:

Who developed this resource?
The Ollertons have been making it during the Coronavirus lockdown. We’ve designed a session each evening and road-tested it with our three kids over breakfast (and revise… and repeat). Charlotte’s a qualified youth worker with oodles of creativity – see the paintings on the cards. Andrew is a more boring-theologian-type. He works with Bible Society and is author of The Bible Course a small group resource.
Many thanks to Howard Barker for sharing this great resource with us.
Faith at Home from the Church of England
