Thursday 18 June 2020 Thursday 18 June 2020 Dear Friends, You will have heard the government announcement that churches may reopen for private prayer as well as for funerals from 15 June onwards. We are working through all the guidance that is being published about how to open churches safely and how to keep members of our congregations safe. This is important and can’t be rushed. This week St Mary Magdalene will reopen for the first time on Saturday, 20 June, between 10.00am and 12.00noon. After this week, St John the Divine and St Matthias will also start opening their doors. We will publish more details in next week’s newsletter. In the meantime, do continue with prayers for our church communities and join in worship via Zoom or Facebook! St Matthias are holding their Sunday worship via zoom every Sunday at 10.00am – please contact Anne for access codes. St John the Divine and St Mary Magdalene post recorded services on the churches’ Facebook pages and then also on the Richmond Team Ministry website. Details about Morning Prayer are further down in this newsletter. The annual St Alban’s Pilgrimage is a wonderful celebration of the life of England’s first martyr Alban and a fantastic day for pilgrims from all over the country, including Richmond. Sadly the day had to be cancelled this year, but there will be an online version called The Alban Pilgrimage Reimagined on 21 June 10.00am via YouTube, with Revd Richard Coles, parish priest, broadcaster and former Communard, and other special guests. Our prayers at St John the Divine this week are particularly for the repose of the soul of Kay Stangroom. Kay died on Tuesday afternoon at Atfield House Care Home in Isleworth, just a short time after her 89th birthday. Although she lived in Hounslow, she attended St John’s regularly for many years until the journey became too much. As a wheelchair user for most of her life, she had a specially adapted car, and could drive herself to church services. When that was no longer possible, she got herself onto the H37 bus and still attended regularly, no matter what the weather. We will celebrate a Requiem Mass for Kay when circumstances allow. In the meantime, we give thanks for her life, and all she contributed to St John’s and the wider parish, and commend her to God’s mercy and love. A Returning to Church Prayer O God from whom all blessings flow, I turn to you in gratitude for this place; for every faithful footstep taken within its walls, and every petition prayed, for every story shared, the ordinary and the extraordinary from generation to generation. Thank you that in the silence of our absence You were still here, as well as with your people. As we begin to return, grant to us all the wisdom to stay safe, the comfort of your peace and joy in coming home. Now these doors are opened once again let your Spirit flow out of me and all who come here, bringing life, hope and healing to our community. Amen.

We have taken steps to reduce the Team expenditure by placing a number of staff on furlough and will continue to look at other ways of cost saving. We are hugely grateful to so many who continue to make their weekly or monthly contribution to the finances of the Team, by standing order or direct debit. However if anyone would like to make a donation to the work of our churches this can be done at https://givealittle.co/campaigns/5260a080-4ee0-49b6-a1c3-d552ef9a0700 Whilst this is a challenging time for many, financially as well as emotionally, I hope we can continue to count on your support for the work of our 3 churches.

From the Richmond Foodbank (based at The Vineyard Community Centre): To limit potential spread of Covid-19 we’ve shut our morning drop-in service, the café and the shop. But we are still providing individual support and running foodbank delivery services. This is the perfect storm of people being in greater need, a massive drop in food donations both from suppliers and individuals, and the complete loss of income from the shop and café. We need you now more than ever. How you can help: 1. We are now accepting food donations on Monday and Thursday afternoons 12.30 to 4.30pm at the Vineyard, Richmond TW10 6AQ - See our list of what is needed 2. Donate what you can to the Covid-19 appeal Thank you.

We have seen a further increase in the number of people sleeping rough this year and a steep increase in the number of people struggling with other types of homelessness. The proportion of our clients with complex health and social care needs has increased again and we are concerned by the rising number of street homeless women and young people in our services. In a context of continued funding cuts across the homelessness sector, we are pleased that our income has remained consistent this year. This allows us to continue to deliver our strategic aims of helping the most vulnerable people in our community effectively – people who have often failed to engage with alternative support and who struggle to access mainstream services.

  • 2021-02 Spring Edition
    TEAMtalk Spring 2021 A Different Form of Christmas It was a very different Christmas in RTM last December with bookable places only for the main services, no packed churches and a more limited chance to welcome those from the greater community of Richmond, who join us each year. Sadly, no Christingle services or Nativity plays for the children. All set against increasing levels of coronavirus. And yet, despite this sombre background the Christmas message was undimmed - God's great gift to humanity, the birth of the Christ Child, giving us hope and through his later sacrifice, the way to eternal life. It was a very different Christmas but it was still Christmas as the following pages show. Unable to hold our traditional Christingle service on Christmas Eve, we made up 50 Christingle make-at-home packs complete with orange, sweeties, ribbon, candle, a prayer and a link to enable a donation to be made to The Childrens’ Society. The bags were offered from the safety of the front garden of St Matthias’ vicarage in Cambrian Road, and families on their way to the Park stopped and were delighted to be offered a bag and a chance to celebrate at home. Revd Anne Crawford In this issue A Different form of Christmas: St Matthias 1-2 St John the Divine 2-4 St Mary Magdalene 4-5 Historic Vestments at SJD 6-7 Gill Gregorowski Walking with Christ - Lent 2020 8-9 Revd Anne Crawford An Adventure Like No Advent & Christmas 2020 at St Matthias Other 10 Advent 2020 certainly was a time of anticipation and waiting Fenella Warden heightened by the uncertainties of the pandemic with all the The Huguenots and the sadness, concerns and restrictions of present times.
