New! Dorset Council have asked churches to help make people aware of their #ReachingOut service. Maybe you know someone who could benefit from this service. This is what they say:
"For many people, this will be the first time they have experienced financial difficulties, or a friend or family member is finding things tough right now. They may feel unsure who to turn to, or just need some advice about which bill to pay, or what to do next. “Covid-19 has changed life for everyone. For some people, these changes can be difficult to cope with and can have a significant impact on mental health. Some people are also struggling with their relationships, or finding things at home particularly difficult. "Dorset Citizens Advice has a team of specialist and experienced advisers waiting at the end of the phone to offer free, confidential and impartial advice." “Current cases include the likes of:
Paying the rent or mortgage
Avoiding eviction
Redundancy and finding work
Furlough
Accessing benefits
Paying council tax and other bills
Managing loan or credit card repayments
Free school meals
Changing career
Mental health and relationships Contact Dorset Citizens Advice on Freephone 0800 144 8848 (text phone 0800 144 8884) or visit www.dorsetcouncil.gov.uk/reaching-out to see the support available. "

Opening of Churches for Private Prayer. The churches of St Peter, St Nicholas and Holy Trinity are open on Thursday mornings from 10am to Noon and also on Sundays from 11am to 4pm. The only exception is when there is an Evening Service (2nd Sunday at St Nicholas, Durweston), when the Church will remain closed until the Evening Service at 6pm. Please follow the guidance posted at the entrances to each Church. When the Churches are closed our church porches will still be available as Prayer Spaces for private prayer.
If you would like us to pray for someone or a situation, you are welcome to write it down (it can be anonymous), place it in an envelope provided and put it in the basket which can be found in the Church porches of St Peter, Pimperne, Holy Trinity, Stourpaine and St Nicholas, Durweston. They will be collected on Saturday morning. Unfortunately, due the current restrictions, we are not able to provide pens and paper. Information about our services, morning and evening prayer can be found on our website http://www.psdbenefice.org.uk.

Sunday Church and Zoom Services - The Sunday service rota for November can be found on page 12 and on the Website; please read! Services are open to all and everyone across the Benefice.
If you are thinking of attending a Church service, please could you consider the following: . Hymn books, Bibles and service orders have been stored away. If you are attending the BCP service, please could you bring a copy of the Prayer Book with you. For other services there will be a take-away service sheet for you to keep. . Social distancing in church remains at two metres. This means we may need to restrict the number of people attending the service. . No groups may exceed 6 unless from the same household. . You will be asked to wait at the door; the church warden or sides person will direct you to your seat. . The wearing of face coverings is mandatory when attending Church Services - Please wear them correctly so that they cover both nose and mouth. If you find you have to cough or sneeze, please keep your mask on!!!!! . At the end of the service, please remain seated until you are asked to leave by the church warden or sides person. . The toilets at St Peter’s and St Nicholas’ churches will be open for use. . Please do not gather in the Church Yards after Services. . There will be a retiring collection at the end of the service. Please place your gift in the basket as you leave. However, there is high level risk of cross contamination associated with coins and notes. If this is your usual way of giving, could you perhaps now consider paying by standing order? If you would like more information on this method of payment, please contact your church treasurer: St Peters - Velda Andrews [email protected] Holy Trinity - Caro Mackay St Nicholas - John Young [email protected]

Hymns for Sunday 1st November with St Martin’s Singers
1 For all the saints who from their labours rest, who thee by faith before the world confessed, Thy name, O Jesu, be for ever blest: Alleluia, alleluia!
2 Thou wast their rock, their fortress and their might; thou, Lord, their captain in the well-fought fight; thou in the darkness still their one true light: Alleluia, alleluia!
3 O blest communion, fellowship divine. we feebly struggle, they in glory shine; yet all are one in thee, for all are thine: Alleluia, alleluia!
4 But lo, there breaks a yet more glorious day: the saints triumphant rise in bright array; the King of Glory passes on his way! Alleluia, alleluia!
5 From earth's wide bounds, from ocean's farthest coast, through gates of pearl streams in the countless host, singing to Father, Son and Holy Ghost: Alleluia, alleluia! William W How (1823-1897)
Page 7
1 Let saints on earth in concert sing with those whose work is done; for all the servants of our King in heaven and earth are one.
2 One family, we dwell in him, one church, above, beneath; though now divided by the stream, the narrow stream of death.
3 One army of the living God, to His command we bow: part of the host have crossed the flood, and part are crossing now.
4 E'en now to their eternal home there pass some spirits blest; while others to the margin come, waiting their call to rest.
5 Jesus, be thou our constant guide; then, when the word is given, bid Jordan's narrow stream divide and bring us safe to heaven. Charles Wesley (1707-1788)
Page 8
1 Be still, my soul: the Lord is on your side; bear patiently the cross of grief and pain; leave to your God to order and provide; in every change he faithful will remain. Be still, my soul: your best, your heavenly friend through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
2 Be still, my soul: your God will undertake to guide the future as he has the past. Your hope, your confidence let nothing shake, all now mysterious shall be clear at last. Be still, my soul: the waves and winds still know his voice, who ruled them while he dwelt below.
3 Be still, my soul: the hour is hastening on when we shall be for ever with the Lord, when disappointment, grief and fear are gone, sorrow forgotten, love's pure joy restored. Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past, all safe and blessèd we shall meet at last.
‘Stille, meine Wille; dein Jesus hilft siegen’ Katherina A D von Schlegel (born 1697) tr Jane L Borthwick (1813-1897)
Page 9
1 Ye watchers and ye holy ones, bright Seraphs, Cherubim and Thrones, raise the glad strain, Alleluia. Cry out, Dominions, Princedoms, Powers, Virtues, Archangels, Angels' choirs, Alleluia.
2 O higher than the Cherubim, more glorious than the Seraphim, lead their praises, Alleluia. Thou Bearer of the eternal Word, most gracious, magnify the Lord. Alleluia.
3 Respond, ye souls in endless rest, ye Patriarchs and Prophets blest, Alleluia, alleluia. Ye holy Twelve, ye Martyrs strong, all Saints triumphant, raise the song Alleluia.
4 O friends, in gladness let us sing, supernal anthems echoing, Alleluia, alleluia. To God the Father, God the Son, and God the Spirit, Three in One, Alleluia. Athelstan Riley (1858-1945)
