From the Associate Vicar's Desk
Welcome to "From the Associate Vicar's Desk" for Friday 25th June
Journey back to church together
Plans are coming together for our weekend on 17th and 18th July bringing our church family back together in church. Please think if anyone you know is feeling nervous about returning, and see how you can encourage or support them to come along. We will have a chance to prayerfully reflect on all we have lost, on how God has sustained us, and on our hope for the future, concluding with a chance to enjoy some refreshments. All in a COVID-secure environment, as we continue to do our best to keep each other safe.
Having promised you a booking form this week, we're having a couple of problems setting up the system in the way we need to, so I will email again next week!
Thanks to those who have already offered to help, we could do with some more people to welcome people, help guide them through the church and to wipe down seats between pilgrims, so please let me know if you can spare an hour or two on the day.
Hello from Belinda!
We're all looking forward to the time when we can socialise safely at church. In the meantime, our new Junior Warden Belinda wanted to introduce herself to those of you she hasn't yet properly met.
Read her message here.
Opening up again
Our staff team are working on a plan to open our doors more over the summer. As we prepare to welcome more people back into our beautiful church, it is more important than ever to have a great team at the door ensuring everyone is safe and welcome.Our Stewards and Sidesmen are preparing to resume their duties, and both teams would love to have some new members. Stewards welcome visitors during the week, and Sidesmen welcome people to services. If you would like to find out more or get involved with either of those roles, please let me know.
Congratulations to Ned
On Sunday we said thank you and farewell to Ned Tennet, one of our Choral Scholars. We found out this week that he has just been appointed Chorister Chaperone at St George's School/Chapel, Windsor. A wonderful opportunity for him, especially after a very challenging few terms for all our students. Congratulations!
