Sunday morning church services in the winter

 

The DCC has decided that to save fuel costs we will follow the pattern of worship as we did last winter. All non communion services in the hall and communion service in the church.

 
 

 

The Common Cup / Shared Cup. Eucharistic Ministers.

From Advent Sunday,, we will offer both the common cup and also priestly intinction on a Sunday Morning. For services which use the High Altar (Christmas Midnight Service)  we will only administer communion using priestly Intinction. This will be reviewed in Spring 2024.

 

 

Eucharistic Ministers

Eucharistic Ministers include those who assist in the distribution of Holy Communion at the Eucharist in church. This is an important role in enabling communion to be administered in a safe and seemly way. Such ministers are selected by the vicar, trained and approved by the Parish Church Council. You are not required to have DBS Clearance for this particular role.

 

If you are interested then please let the vicar know, even if you have served in this capacity in the past.
