From the Vicar's Desk - 12 March
Welcome to 'From the Vicar's Desk' for Friday 12 March
Fear for the future and the pain of loss
Let there be light
On Tuesday 23 March there will be a National Day of Reflection (organised by Marie Curie) to reflect on our collective loss, support those who've been bereaved, and hope for a brighter future. In church we are planning an event which is neither an act of remembrance nor a service: think of it as an art installation during which we shall light one candle every minute for a little over six hours: one candle for every day of the year since the first lockdown. The whole event will be streamed live on SMR Live and our Facebook page and should end a little after 3.30pm if you want to join us for the final moments and a closing prayer.
Holy Week and Easter
Our plans are progressing well and you can find the latest version of the Holy Week timetable here. We still haven't made a final decision about when we can - or shall - open again for Public Worship. Once that decision has been finalised (hopefully in the next few days) I will send out another note to ensure that you have full details of all our services for this most important of weeks in the Christian year.
