Journey Back to Church Together
Saturday 17 July
Journey back to church together
Welcome back to St Mary Redcliffe. Whether you've been worshipping in church, online, or in your own way over the last year or so, we are making our way towards coming back together in church. We are marking this stage on the journey with a pilgrimage through the church.
You will have the opportunity to reflect prayerfully on all we have lost, on how God has sustained us, and on what we rejoice in. You can pray quietly in the church and light a candle. And, if you'd like to, you can reconnect with old friends over a tea or coffee at the end. All of this is suitable for adults and children alike, with interactive prayer activities to suit a range of needs and preferences.
We're keeping it COVID-secure, as we know coming back is a big step for some of you, and we need to continue to do our best to keep each other safe. So we're having timed slots for a staggered start, with just a small group on each step of the pilgrimage at any time.
If you know someone who might be feeling anxious about coming back to church after a long break, why not invite them to come with you? This is a really gentle, prayerful way to come back to church after all that has happened, and it's important that as many of us as possible make this journey together.
Please use the booking form here to book your time slot.
If you have any questions or queries about our pilgrimage, please get in touch.
Every blessing,
Kat

Sunday 18 July
10.00 Redcliffe Sunday: Journey back to church together (in church and online - doors open from 9:30am)
Please do come for our special all-age, reflective Eucharist service, following our pilgrimage through the church on Saturday.
This time of year, we usually celebrate the life of our church in a special end of term service. This year it will have a slightly different feel, following on from our pilgrimage on 17th, as we reflect together on all that has happened since we were last able to all meet freely and safely in church. An important opportunity to gather, to lament, to give thanks, to rejoice, together; and to welcome our children's church back to worship indoors at our main service for the first time this year. The booking form will be emailed on Monday as usual.
If you want to be certain of getting a seat, then you need to book either on line or via the phone line. However, there will always be a limited number of seats available on the day on a first-come-first-served basis.
Please ensure that you arrive for the service in plenty of time and no later than 10 minutes before the service is due to start.
