Being church when we’re in isolation

Being church when we’re in isolation

Just because we are in isolation does not mean that we are not still the church! We continue to be the body of Christ, praying and serving our community even if we are not physically around one another.

And let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

Hebrews 10:24-25

Although we can’t meet physically together we can still meet in other ways and keep the communication lines open.

Let’s keep ringing each other and messaging in a positive way on social media. Let’s offer to help vulnerable neighbours where we can with shopping and collecting prescriptions.

Please let the Rector Bryony Taylor know if somebody needs particular support by ringing 01246 813569.

The Rector will be posting a daily recording (podcast) in the sermons section of this website – this will be a mixture of prayer, meditation, news and sermons. Alternatively you can find the podcast at anchor.fm/bcjj.
