St German's News - 25 Oct 2020

Bible Sunday - Readings today are from the Revised Lectionary.  Our focus will be to give thanks for the living Word of God.  Next Sunday we celebrate All Saint’s Day.  Both services will be pre-recorded and put on our youtube page (see website).    Firebreak Lockdown - All Services for the next two weeks have been suspended (until 9 November). We will resume our online Sunday services in each church and the link to these youtube recordings will be available on our website each Sunday morning.  This coming week is half term but we hope to have a Tuesday morning zoom coffee morning for St German’s members on Wednesday 4 November at 10am.  If any parishioners need help with shopping or collecting medicines etc. (or know of anyone who is in need) please contact Fr Phelim or our church wardens.          
Calendar - See Richard Davey to book your St German’s Calendar (£5 and £7 each)    Ministry Areas - Our PCC recently met to consider all the options and issues surrounding the desire of our Bishop to reconfigure the diocese into ministry areas.  St German’s PCC members have agreed to explore some options surrounding a smaller ministry area than that originally planned.  We will publish the minutes of the last meeting as soon as we can.                                   
​Remembrance - During November Christians often remember those who have died and offer lists of departed loved ones to be prayed for.  If you would like us to pray for your loved ones please give your list to Fr Phelim. On Remembrance Sunday (8 Nov) we’ll observe the 2 minute silence during our online service & encourage individuals to pray an act of remembrance at home or at the war memorial which will be open to the public on Remembrance Sunday morning.                Recently Departed -Nichola Treanor, Elsna Joan Davies, David Irwin, Ken Cooper RIP
