As we re-enter a time of restrictions, when we may not be able to see our families and friends, we wanted to share Evening Liturgy* with you.

As always, many thanks to The Iona Community for generously making its liturgy available for use on-line during the pandemic.

Northumbria living rooms

Our friends at Northumbria Community have created new 'living rooms', where we can join together to say the offices online. 

Click on this link to see the way we’re setting it up. So, instead of you leading our Office and broadcasting it online, we’d like you to point to places where we are already praying online and people can join in not only with their own local community of faith but with those for whom these prayers are their daily bread. You can also find the Evening Office and our Complines here on our YouTube channel.

 

Advent Word

It's hard to believe November will soon be here and with it our preparations for Advent. There are many well-produced on-line advent calendars, and we very much like this collection of themed mediations and images, published by the Virginia Theological Seminary, now in its seventh year, and available on the usual social media an on-line.

Circuit-breaker

As another period of increased restrictions looks likely, whatever name they have this time, we are here if you need to speak to someone. Our e-mail address is below.
