Our local Benefice of Churches are run (contrary to popular belief) entirely by donations from the public and by fundraising, and therefore has also felt the impact. Two intrepid parishioners, Liz Plater and Rev Penny Goodman, decided to raise some awareness of this and (also hopefully some money!) by each taking on a 10 mile challenge. Rev Penny walked ten miles around the Churches in her local area and Liz ran her ten miles from Colton Church to Easton Church, then down to Marlingford Church and then to Bawburgh Church before running back to St Peter's School, Easton to finish. It was a hot day but it did not put them off and they both completed their courses. Liz and Penny would love their efforts not to be in vain. If you would like to show some appreciation of what they have done and are in a position to do so, then please do make a donation to one of the Churches in the Benefice, which can be done by 8 visiting the Diocese of Norwich website and clicking on the little 'Donate' tab at the top of the page or using / typing in this link: https://www.dioceseofnorwich.org/donate/ We would be grateful for anything you can give. (See page 23 for the participants story!) As incumbent and Churchwardens we have taken the sad decision to not reopen our Churches for public worship at present. We have read all the guidance and looked at what it would mean for our congregations and the impact on our fellowship and worship. We decided at present that without singing, limited numbers allowed within our buildings due to size and social distancing, no socialising and now this week a 'strong recommendation' to wear a mask during the service, that 'Church' would not be anything like what we are used to and love about meeting together. This will be reviewed at the end of August. Our Churches are however open for private prayer as mentioned last month. Even when we do resume public worship, it is likely that we will continue with the weekly emails offering a home service of worship and reflection and we will also continue with a weekly service on Zoom. We currently have a 10am Sunday service of worship on Zoom to which anyone is welcome. Please do email me for more details. Rev Laura Montgomery.
