REVEREND MIRIAM WRITES… It really is difficult to know what to write this month; I am writing this at the end of May. In any other year, it would be fairly easy to predict what July might bring. This time though, what with our changeable weather, the changeable nature of the pandemic and the last minute decision making that goes with it, we may all be out enjoying holidays and café visits or we may still be Page 2 of 7 doing limited things with extreme caution. Our churches have risen to the challenge of preparing for ‘just in case’… Fundraising events have been planned outside where possible, and have covid- safety procedures in place to ensure everyone feels safe to aVend. These fundraisers range from book and cake stalls to fetes, dog shows and concerts. Please do support these events, as the financial situation in the church has now become quite desperate. Even if you don’t use your church on a regular basis, you might want to use it one day; parish churches are there for everyone who lives in the village, for Christenings, weddings and funerals, Carol services and Easter celebrations but churches receive no money from the government or the national church, and as you might imagine, big medieval buildings need a lot of looking after. If everyone in all our villages contributed the price of a coffee just once a month, it might be enough to keep our heads above the water. If everyone contributed the price of a coffee once a week, it would ensure the future of our churches, and pay for enough ministers to ensure that we can be there for you when you need us. Nationally, many church buildings are closing down and falling into ruin, but we are determined not to let that happen here. If you are able, please help your village church to survive by seVing up a monthly direct debit or standing order. Every first Sunday of the month, starting with July 4th, we are holding a Benefice service (that’s when all the congregations from all our 17 villages join together at one church), and we really hope that in July we will be able to have a real celebration of being back in church in person. Of course, things may yet change, but if we do have the kind of service we are planning, why not come along and join the celebration? If things do go to plan and there are no restrictions by then, we will sing, give thanks for seeing the back of the pandemic, and share refreshments afterwards. See our FaceBook page and Website for information nearer the time. We’d love to welcome you there… and if not, we hope you’ll enjoy the events we have organised throughout the summer.
