Church services:

Government guidance around non-essential contact, advises that public worship is suspended until further notice. 

In the absence of church services, here is a prayer instead from Revd Canon Liesbeth Oosterhof

Lord Jesus Christ,

you taught us to love our neighbour,

and to care for those in need

as if we were caring for you.

In this time of anxiety, give us strength

to comfort the fearful, to care for the sick,

and to assure the isolated

of our love, and your love,

for your name's sake.

Amen.
