Booking for services due to Covid-19 pandemic

Booking remains essential for services in the Church so please book, from the preceding Monday for next Sunday’s services, stating the time of the service you wish to attend and the number in your group, preferably to sjbwsignupforservices@gmail.com (not after Friday) or you can call Angie Leggett on (01243) 377825.

Livestream

Today’s service will be live-streamed. You should be aware that the camera is at the left-hand side, in the side chapel. So, please turn right after you have received communion, rather than left.  Every endeavour will be made to maintain privacy for those taking communion.  The playing of the organ voluntary before the service starts is an indication that we should cease chatting to our neighbour and prepare for worship. This is even more relevant today, as anyone listening from home can hear what is being said! The current system we are using is temporary, and installation of the permanent system, which will have different camera and microphone positions, is provisionally scheduled for the end of August.

Collect for the Fifth Sunday after Trinity

Almighty and everlasting God, by whose Spirit the whole body of the Church is governed and sanctified:  hear our prayer which we offer for all your faithful people, that in their vocation and ministry they may serve you in holiness and truth to the glory of your name;  through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.  Amen

For our prayers (please contact the Churchwardens to add names):

• for the needs of the world, especially areas of conflict during the spread of Covid
• for all who have been and continue to be affected by the pandemic, particularly those approaching more uncertainty about their jobs
• for Elizabeth our Queen and all set in authority under her
