Worship during the next weeks

Thursday Morning Holy Communion
Hello again everyone. 
We are in unprecedented times. Things are moving very quickly. 
Sue, Anne and I are working hard to ensure that we provide pastoral care and worship for our church family. At the same time, we absolutely MUST follow the wise guidance from the Chief Medical Officer and the diocese.
I want to thank James Medland for putting an incredible amount of work into a draft service for broadcast this Sunday.
​
Sadly, I had to pull back from using this because:
  • We were just not ready with a broadcast ready offering. It needed much more people input.
  • I needed us to keep in step with our diocese.
So here is what is currently happening.
We are still getting ready to offer an act of worship on Sunday mornings at 10.00 am. This will be broadcast from the Vicarage. (The wifi in the church is not robust enough.) We hope the the readers and I will share the tasks but we are looking at how to do this remotely. More than one of us are in high risk demographics and are semi-self-isolating. 

​Anyway. Now I need some some input from you, our church family. Which platform should we use?
  1. Facebook live: This seems to be a popular option with other online churches. The disadvantage is that you need a facebook account to join in.
  2. YouTube: This is the medium favoured by the diocese. The benefit is that you just need a computer with internet access.
Please email me on vicar@whitchurchcofe.uk and tell me which you prefer? Even if you have no view of this, please still email me. If you do, I can put you on a mailing list to tell you how and when to connect.

​I hope that we can launch next Sunday with a delayed Mothering Sunday service. Please do drop into the church at some point and say a prayer. While you are there, please borrow one of our Worship books so that you can join in from your home.

Meanwhile - please to join us this Sunday in taking part in the Churches Together in England nationwide day of prayer. Do read about it here.

Also, the diocese is supporting us all. Please keep an eye on
the diocesan website. 

And finally for now. The diocese is offering regular online acts of worship via its Youtube channel.  Do try it out now.


Stay safe
God bless us all ​
