Newsy Email #107 - Tuesday 3rd March

Hi all,
First of all, just a short update on this week:
On Saturday afternoon at 3pm Messy Church will be taking place in Church.
And then at 6:30pm some of our young people are going to play 4D Golf!
On Sunday morning, our usual services will take place at 9am and 10:45am. 

We are in the midst of an uncertain time regarding the Coronavirus.
Below is the latest advice we've received. Any updates will be forthcoming soon.
Please note this is from 27th February, but the advice is still applicable.
The Bishop of Carlisle, James Newcome, the Church of England’s lead bishop on health issues, has said:

We pray for all those affected by Coronavirus (COVID-19) here and around the world, particularly in China, and for all those caring for them.
The virus not been declared a pandemic and at present the risk in this country is assesses as ‘moderate’.
However, there are, of course some practical measures churches can take.

Much of that is simply maintaining good hygiene including, for example, priests and servers washing their hands and using alcohol-based hand-sanitiser before Holy Communion. Although there is not currently Government advice suggesting churches should suspend the use of the Common Cup, parishioners with coughs and sneezes should certainly be encouraged to receive Communion in one kind only and to refrain from handshaking during The Peace.
We also advise against the practice of ‘intinction’ – when the consecrated bread is dipped into the wine - as this could represent an infection transmission route."

Blessings,
Phil
