As many of you will know usually the December Family Service is designated as the Toys on the Table Service when we bring new toys to church and they are then passed on to the Marlene Reid Centre to be distributed to needy local families. This year the December Family Service will fall on December 6th but, due to the current lockdown, we cannot be sure that we will be able to hold the Family Service. Jo Mawer is planning on spreading the Appeal out over 2 Sundays : November 29th and December 6th. She is willing to stand outside church from 10:15am until 11:45 am so that you can drop off your Toys if you wish to, even if you do not wish to come into church whether it be private prayer or family service. There will be a Toy Appeal Poster outside the church saying what the plan is. On the poster it says the closing date for the Appeal is December 1st but Jo has spoken to someone this morning who said any donations by December 7th will be o.k. |
We encourage you to light a candle at 7.00 PM each night and pray at this time about the current Coronavirus Crisis. |
OTHER THINGS YOU CAN DO……..
Sundays at 10am. Every Sunday at 10am on the @DioceseofLeicester Facebook page or the Diocese of Leicester Youtube channel there will be a short pre-recorded video providing an opportunity to engage with the Gospel reading of the day. There will be simple prayers, a reading, a brief devotional homily and a creative interpretation of the Bible story by an artist, and a closing blessing. Just follow the Diocese of Leicester Facebook page and join with others around our diocese in experiencing God’s word in a slightly different way.
Daily Offices with the Community of the Tree of Life. Keep an eye out for details of the new monastic community's own Daily Office, which will be livestreaming on their @LeicTreeofLife Facebook page every week day (Mon-Fri). There will be a shortened morning, noon and night-time version from members of the Community who will provide a rich opportunity for us to punctuate our day with prayer, knowing that we’re doing so in company with other Christians from around the city and county.
Jacob's Ladder, Hobby Heaven and Coffee and Chat
