Caring for You During the Coronavirus Pandemic...
Covid-19 has changed our lives, and will continue to have a lasting impact on the shape of our world for a considerable time, and the church is no different to the countless other areas of our lives affected.The natural instinct in times of crisis is to want to be together, to hug and comfort each other, to visit those we love and be near to one another. Covid-19 forces us to have to go against every natural human instinct, and it's really hard. We have the most fantastic technology at our fingertips, to access both information and connect to people all around the world - make the most of it. If I can talk my Mum through installing Skype on her laptop over the phone and successfully have a video call, there's no limit to what we are capable of! Do make sure you take your information from trusted sources - honestly, the BBC and NHS are both showing us why they are true National Treasures, and we are so lucky to have them.
What we will do in St Margaret's Benefice during this time is provide you with the latest information, particularly pertaining to the church but not exclusively so, and give you a one-stop-shop for links to prayers and worship resources that you can use at home. If there is anything specific that you think we are missing, please let us know.
Remember :
