Dear Friends

We have our live streaming of our Parish Communion Service tomorrow at 10am.  I will put a post on the website at 9.30am and this will have a picture on it of our service sheet for Lent and all you have to do is to click on that and follow the instructions.  Its all very simple!  Don’t forget to print out the service sheet and have your Bibles open for the reading which is Ezekiel 37:1-14.  There will also be a video for the children which is about Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead which is one of the other readings for the day.

Please don’t forget that the clocks go forward one hour tonight!

If you are anything like us, by now you will know several people who either have the virus and are self isolating or are actually in hospital.  Some of them may be (like the 20 something son of some friends of ours) on a ventilator in an ICU.  Lucy and I would like to pray in a very specific way for anyone who you are particularly concerned about during the service.  Please do send me an email rector@itchenvalleychurches.org with just their Christian name and we will include them in the service in a small way.

Please do bear with us tomorrow – this is the first time that we have done any live streaming and it is a bit daunting but we have had some good advice from James Greig.

Blessings at this difficult time

Alex
