Coronavirus - what is happening in Living Brook?

By -


Many of you will have seen the letter from Canon Beverley yesterday or heard the news on TV that the Church of England will be suspending normal services apart from weddings and funerals.
Canon Beverley will be saying prayers in 
St. John the Baptist, Piddington at 9.30 am Sundays, 
St Edmunds, King and Martyr, Hardingstone at 11 am Sundays 
St John the Baptist, Quinton at 10 am on Wednesdays. 
Anyone who wants to join her who is not in one of the at risk groups can as long as they follow good hygiene practices of hand cleaning - before and aftyer entering the churches, sitting a good distance apart, and Canon Beverley will be pleased to see you and welcome you supporting her in prayer. 
For those who have to self isolate for any reason may want to keep these times in mind and join in prayer with those in our churches to concentrate our power of prayer.
The Archbishops of Canterbury and York have asked in their recent letter that this Sunday, Mothering Sunday is a day of prayer and action. They are encouraging people to light a candle in their window at 7 pm Sunday 22nd March as a sign of solidarity and hope in the light of Christ that can never be extinguished.

The Church of England is making available resources for those unable to go to church and worship as usual.
Here are some links you may find comforting at this time, meanwhile, I can assure you that we are working on possible ways of getting Canon Beverley digitally into your home!

Also now may be the time to dip your toe into some of the Christian channels on TV, they won't necessarily appeal to everyone but you may find a particular programme that brings you joy, peace, help or comfort 
Freeview channel 65 has TBN - Trinity Broadcast Network
United Christian Broadcasters UCB have radio channels that can be accessed online or found on a DAB radio

  Below follows a short introductory message from our newly appointed priest Rev. Julie Scott. Hello, it is with great joy that I can introduce myself as your new Vicar. My name is Revd Julie Scott and with my husband Adrian we are looking forward to joining and serving the community. We currently live in Bridgwater Somerset where I have served part of my curacy. The southwest has been home for a number of years, however I recognised that I wanted to discover and minister to a new area, as well as a being a little closer to our family. We have one daughter and two grandchildren who live in Lincolnshire, and I am blessed to have my father who still lives in Surrey where I grew up. Adrian and I are both passionate about the environment and will always look for the ways we can protect and enjoy the world around us. One of the ways I do this is through the arts, I have a love of painting and photography, as well as having a background in design which I bring to all aspects of my life. Adri
