From the Associate Vicar's Desk
Further to my message earlier in the week, a reminder that there is no public worship in church on Sunday. We hope to reach a decision early next week on whether we can safely offer public worship over the coming weeks, and will let you know as soon as possible. Please bear with us while we give this important decision the time it deserves.
Night Shelter
On a positive note, the Bristol Churches Winter Night Shelter opened this week (now hosted in a large B&B property in South Bristol), and we are supporting it once more. Our volunteers are providing food on Fridays but if you would like to help in another way, donations are still being collected and sorted by Emmanuel Church. We are particularly short of the following items (BRAND NEW ONLY PLEASE):
Socks, pants, hats, gloves, tea (normal, decaf and herbal), coffee (instant), biscuits, puzzle books/single player games etc to keep guests occupied
You can drop donations off at Emmanuel this Sunday between 3pm-4pm at Emmanuel Meeting House, Narrow Lewin's Mead, BS1 2NN (the church on The Centre).
Any questions to Sarah Yates: sarah.yates@stmaryredcliffe.co.uk

Once again, if we can support you in any way through these strange and difficult times, please do get in touch.
Every blessing,
Kat
