6 PARISH MAGAZINE ST JOHN THE B APTIST CHUR CH, SHEDFIELD SHEDFIELD - SHIRRELL HEA TH - WAL THAM CHASE

Revd Jane Isaac’s update on church life during the pandemic*

It’s marvellous to have a printed magazine again after so long – and it’s good as well to be reaching a new readership online via the church websites. The re’s a real sense of light at the end of the tunnel now, isn’t there! Chu rch opening: I’m delighted to be able to let you know that given the continuing roll-out of the vaccination programme and the reduction in coronavirus infection rates locally, St John the Baptist, ShedLield and St Nicholas, Wickham have re-opened for private prayer during the week and for services on Sunday: Private prayer: every day between 10.00am–4.00pm Sunday worship: for the immediate future my intention is to continue the pre-lockdown pattern of having a joint beneLice worship service every week at 10.00am, alternating between St John the Baptist Church, ShedLield and St Nicholas, Wickham. Details are available on the church websites, village Facebook pages and on the noticeboards outside both churches and in Wickham Square. The ministry team and churchwardens are continuing to review the speed at which we come out of lockdown restrictions and widen the variety of service available in the light of national Church of , diocesan and Government guidance. Detailed information about this guidance can be found on the Church of England website (churchofengland.org/coronavirus) and the Diocese of Ports- mouth’s coronavirus pages (portsmouth.anglican.org/coronavirus) Please be aware that despite the easing of lockdown, face coverings must still be worn in church at all times and that social distancing and track and trace requirements continue to be in place. I’m very grateful to the volunteers who are once again working with such commitment to keep the churches open, Covid-secure and as welcoming as we can make our buildings given the ongoing restrictions. Hol y Week and Easter 2021: Holy Week and Easter services are now able to be held in church: again, please check the church websites, village Facebook pages and noticeboards for up-to-date details. Whilst our ‘usual’ pattern of Holy Week services isn’t possible this year, do please be reassured that there will be the opportunity to share in Easter Day communion services at either, or both, of our churches. Online services: For those of you who aren’t yet quite comfortable about being out and about again, the popular Being Church at Home services continue every week, accessible online or in easy-to-print-out format: a printed copy of the weekly service can be delivered to you if you aren’t able to access it online: just get in touch with one of the clergy (details on the inside front cover of this magaz ine). When will Lunch Club and other groups be getting underway again? is a question I’m delighted to be aske d most days now! All being well and at the time of writing, we anticipate that groups will be able to start meeting again after the remaining restrictions have been lifted on 21st June. Revd Juliet and Revd Ruth join me in sending you love and all good wishes,

When we are able to live differently – Easter is always a time for celebration.

And by Easter some of us will we think we have become stronger in ourselves and as have quite a lot of hair to let down!

COVID-19 Matters. Just to remind you again that there is a special helpline for Hampshire’s most vulnerable residents, set up as part of a collabor ati on betw een local councils acr oss the county and the voluntary and community sector. So, if anyone is worried about an elder ly neighbour, relative or any vulnerable person, they can call the Hampshire Coronavirus Support and Helpline on 0333 370 4000 (lo cal rate charges apply). For the duration of the national lockdown, the helpline is open as follows: Monday to Friday - 9am-5pm; Weekends - 10am-3pm; or out of hours, call 0300 555 1373. At the time of writing, althoug h we remain in the third lockdown, the good news is that schools have re-started for eligible pupils; more than 23 million people have been given their Lirst vaccination and more than 1.5 million people have had their second dose. The next target is to vaccinate all the over-50s by 15th April and everyone over the age 18 by the end of July. To see the up-t o-dat e data for the pandemic in Hampshire please visit www.hants.gov.uk/coronavirus. Additionally you may like to go to: https://documents.hants.gov.uk/public-health/jsna-covid19/Winchester-C19-District-Report.pdf which docu- ments the situation in the Winchest er District . The NHS ar e r eminding residents who have received their vaccine that it is vital to keep following the rules of Hands-Face-Space, to avoid putting others at risk. In the current national lockdown, everyone should stay at home as much as possible to avoid a resurgence. However, getting the COVID-19 vaccine, or any other v accine, is an important medical appointment and a v alid ‘essential r eason ’ f or tr avelling. COVID-19: Home testing available for households of school-age pupils and school staff With the return to school, regular at home coronavirus testing is available free, for all households with primary, second- ary and college age childr en and young people. This includes households in associated childcare and support bubbles, and those with school staff and adults working in the wider school community, such as supply teachers, school bus dri vers, and after school club leaders. May 6th Elections. Voters have a range of options for casting their ballot – in person, by post or by appointing someone they trust to vote in their plac e, kno wn as a proxy vote. The deadline to apply for a postal vote is 5pm on 20th April, and for a proxy vote the deadline is 5pm on 27th April. Anyone who would prefer to vote by post is encouraged to apply early.

For those who choose to vote in person, polling stations will be safe places to vote on 6th May. Voters are encouraged to keep themselves and others safe by: wearing a face covering/mask; bringing their own pen or pencil; cleaning their hands when entering and leaving the polling station and keeping a safe distance.
