Sunday Worship
The renewal of lockdown has meant that our congregational worship in church has been suspended – but very much continues on line. Each week a video of the Sunday service is made in each church in turn. It is deliberately quite short and is enhanced by music and singing. By Saturday before the service it is available on Youtube (look for “Little Stour Churches”. The link is also posted here together with the text – so you can follow the service and join in the hymns at home – do join us!
Daily Worship
Our virtual church also continues with prayers and thoughts for every day of the week. You can use it (or parts of it) in whatever way you choose. Daily Worship for the week is posted on this website every Sunday and also emailed by request (email Nick Henwood at nhenwood77@gmail.com to be placed on the list)
Church buildings remain open for personal prayer
Our five churches remain open for personal prayer and contemplation. Social distancing arrangements are in force and you are very welcome to visit them for a time of quiet thought, prayer and reflection during this difficult time.
Remembering by name those who are sick and those who have died
If you would like a loved one remembered in this way, please forward the name to nick Henwood (nhenwood77@gmail.com). Their names are included in Daily Worship.
The Virtual Church page has all the details of our online worship programme. An information sheet with further details can be downloaded from here.
Daily Hope
DAILY HOPE offers music, prayers and reflections as well as full worship services from the Church of England at the end of a telephone line 24 hours a day on 0800 804 8044. For more information click here
Bringing together the five churches

A prayer for the evening for all those affected by the virus
Keep us, good Lord,under the shadow of your mercy.
Sustain and support the anxious,
be with those who care for the sick,
and lift up all who are brought low;
that we may find comfort
knowing that nothing can separate us from your love
in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Amen
