Church Services

 The information below is from our Priest in Charge, Rev Neil Stothers, and lists all the services planned for September.

 

 Great Dalby church is still closed.  It is being cared for by the PCC.  The Bats are making their usual presence felt and we

  feel it would be difficult to deep clean after every opening of the church.  Enquiries are ongoing into encouraging the bats to roost more conveniently through an organisation called Bats in Churches.

# = Face coverings must be worn (unless exempted) disposable masks are available in Church

@ = A maximum of 25 people allowed in Church operated on a 'first come first serve basis' - This applies especially at the Arnhem service; Each year this is a very well attended service but without singing - this year will be a very short service. The PRA are attending with 10 attendees and 5 other spaces - which leaves 10 places available for the wider community. The PCC have set a strict limit in their risk assessment which will be strictly adhered. This is for all attendees' personal safety. Numbers exceeding 25 will sadly be turned away.

 

 

And finally, I am very pleased to say that the Rev Jane Walker will be beginning a phased return to ministry in the Burrough Hill Benefice from Monday 7^th September. During the initial period of her return Jane would only be engaging in pastoral visiting work with resumption of her leading worship following on a few weeks later. I would ask for understanding that Jane will not be able to respond to all the requests that come in as she will initially be on shorter working hours as part of the phased return and will going through an initial period of adjustment. However, Jane is very much looking forward to getting to know people within the benefice, having not had very much opportunity to do so with the coronavirus lockdown coming so swiftly after her licensing in February.  Please do uphold Jane and Bill in your prayers at this time. Can I personally thank those who have assisted in the ministry in our benefices during Jane's absence - especially Canon Michael, Revd David Cowie and Crystal McAllister.

 

Blessings

 

Revd Neil
