St German's News - 20 June 2021

Covid Risks Update - Please continue to adhere to social distancing and so go straight to your chair and at the end of the service leave orderly.  We are delighted also that we can offer some limited fellowship after mass (in the hall and not front room due to social distancing rules).  Please join us afterwards keeping masks on until seated and not moving around.  If you’d like to help in this ministry please let us know.                 

Fellowship Rota - to help us with offering fellowship after our Sunday services we need extra help because of current covid guidelines.  Consequently, if you’re able to join a rota to help with this we’d appreciate it.  See Angela for details as to what is required.         

Foodbank Collections - resumes from Monday 21 June.  Please help us support the hungry.     

New Ministries - Fr Phelim and family will be re-locating to the midlands later in the Summer (where Annette already works) and where he is to begin a new role as a full time area dean in the diocese of Birmingham.  His last Sunday with us is 25 July.         

PCC - Our next PCC meeting will be on Monday 21 June after the 6pm mass in church.  Our focus will be on ministry area preparation and the decrees and structures of the new MA.          

Singing - Currently we are not permitted to sing congregationally yet we are permitted to have up to six voices singing.  Singing in church has now resumed but with six voices only.  It doesn’t have to be the same six each Sunday. If you’d like to join in contact Fr Phelim.         

Summer Fayre - We hope to have a summer fayre/bazaar on Saturday 24 July from 11:00 to 13:00.  We will need to risk assess this and abide by current covid guidelines for outdoor and indoor gathering.  If you’d like to be involved in helping with the stalls, hospitality, set up or activities please contact Fr Phelim or one of the church wardens.              

Gardening Club - meets on the first Saturday of each month at 11am.  Open to all.  Next meets on Saturday 3 July.                                  

​Recently Departed - Doris Thomas, Philip Brown, Phyllis Joan Park.
