St German's News - 15 Nov 2020

PCC Meeting - Our next PCC meeting will be on Monday 23rd at 7pm via Zoom.  We will update everyone on Ministry Area proposals as well as plans for Advent and Christmas.              Sidonia Innocent RIP - We pray for Sidonia’s family at this time.  Her funeral will be in St German’s on Monday 23 Nov at 11:30.  To attend please see Fr Phelim.             

Calendar - See Richard Davey to book your St German’s Calendar (£5 and £7 each).  Calendars will be available for collection after mass on 6th and 13th December.  If you can’t make it on these days please contact Richard to arrange other forms of delivery.          

Weekday and Sunday Services - No weekday masses this week as Fr Phelim has been asked to self isolate by NHS track and trace.   with the end of the recent lockdown we are able once more to pray and worship in church as before.  Numbers attending church services are determined according to what each building can safely sustain bearing in mind the two meter social distancing rule.  St Saviour's is currently 45 and St German’s is 60.              

Advent and Christmas - we hope as much as possible to maintain the usual services for the seasons of Advent and Christmas. Yet much of what we do this year will be determined by covid rules and so numbers will be limited and booking places will be very important. We will publish a full list of services for the first Sunday of Advent.                  

Nightshelter - It looks increasingly unlikely we will be unable to offer our winter outreach to the homeless this year because of the ongoing risks and dangers posed by the Covid crisis.  We will keep our options going as to how best we might support the local authority as they provide self contained units for the homeless most of which will be in Adamsdown.         

Happy Birthday and Thank You to our wonderful organist, Brian Williams, who reaches a big milestone this week.  We are ever so grateful for his work, humour and presence with us over the last number of decades.  Not often we can say things like that.  Here’s to the next few Brian.  Ad Multos Annos.                                  

Recently Departed - Sidonia Innocent, David Conrad Richards RIP
