Dear Brothers and Sisters,
I hope you're all well and looking after yourselves. Below is this weeks special order of service which includes two hymns (with the attached links to the Youtube videos), the readings for the day, some prayers and an act of Spiritual Communion. I urge you all to use this at home tomorrow, and throughout the week. I will be live streaming the mass tomorrow morning at 10am on our Facebook page. I encourage you all to join in with worship however possible, and make special, sanctified time for God both tomorrow, and throughout the week.
I will also upload my sermon for tomorrow onto our Facebook page.
Please do contact me if I can be of any help to you in these coming weeks and months. I have been heartened by the many offers of help from our congregation and wider community. Their names have been recorded and I will call upon them as and when the need arises.
Please do make use of the church being open for personal prayers and devotions.
I hope this small offering to you all goes someway to feeding you spiritually until we are untied again physically in worship and adoration of Christ.
With love and prayers,
Fr Adam

A Letter from the Vicar
during this time of illness
'Dear Brothers and Sisters,
In our gospel this week, Jesus speaks to the Samaritan woman at the well. He shares his good news with her, she repents of her sins and she races to share the gospel with all she knows.
During his teaching with her, Jesus explains what sort of worshipper God wants. 'True worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth' Jesus says. He tells her that the time has come when exactly where you worship does not matter, but what really matters is the depth of our worship.
During the coming weeks and months for many of our faithful, those words of the Saviour will give immense comfort.
Though we may not be together in the same place, we will know that we are united by the Spirit of the God we worship.
This week, and every week until the threat of sickness is over, I will produce an order of service for those people who are unable to attend church. It will contain the readings and collects for the day, a reflection, prayers and a rite of spiritual communion. I hope this, and the continued prayers of the Body of Christ, will continue to strengthen you spiritually throughout this period.
If you would like to receive a copy of this, or if the church or I can be of any help, please do not hesitate to contact me.
If you are able, like our Facebook page, as posts will be regularly updated with news and information. Follow the link https://m.facebook.com/stmaryschurcheg/ and like the page.
Masses continue to be celebrated at the usual times.
With love and prayers,
Fr Adam
Vicar, St Mary the Virgin.
