JULY 5th 2020

Today We Celebrate the Resumption of Services in Church.

The 5th July will see us begin to resume services at St Andrew's

with a service at 10.00am.

Unfortunately with the virus still present

it won't be the celebratory return we would all love to see.

We will be taking proper precautions to keep people safe

but if you feel more comfortable staying at home

the audio service and booklet is below.

We will continue the online services for some time

so if you are shielding or don't feel safe coming to church

we will still provide for you.

If you are in a vulnerable group (but not shielding) you need to be aware

that there is a risk in coming to church, albeit a minimal one

and the decision as to whether you attend is yours.

There will be precautions in place but not such that

St Andrews stops feeling like a place of prayer

so please follow the stewards instructions

and keep your distance from people to keep us all safe.

There will be printed service booklets which you are asked to take and keep

rather than hand back at the end of the service.

If you can bring the booklet with you each week

that would be helpful but there will be spares if you forget.

If you would rather an electronic service booklet for you

phone or tablet please download it from here:

We will now be holding evening prayer every Thursday in church at 6.30pm

to which everyone is welcome.

The church won't be open during the week apart from that.

The vicar of this church, Greville Thomas,
can be contacted in an emergency
by telephoning 020 8904 4016
or emailing greville.sudbury@gmail.com

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul
and with all your mind and with all your strength . . .
Love your neighbour as yourself.
There is no commandment greater than these.”

To protect the vulnerable amongst us,
please do not leave your home
except for essential trips.
