Vicar's Newsletter for 13 December

Dear all,
 
The Hunmanby news below contains the idea of making a front window in your home bright and cheerfully decorated. I encouraged the Hunmanby congregation last Sunday to find a way of making their window display reflective of the glorious Christmas message. This is something we could do in all our homes across the benefice. Now there's a challenge!
 
Please do get in touch with me if you have any questions or just to have a chat. 
 
Prerecorded Audio Service on Sunday 13th December:  The Third Sunday of Advent
This will enable you to participate in our prerecorded live AUDIO service (like a radio service). It was recorded in church last Sunday so you get it a week late. You will also find a Word file attached with the hymn lyrics.
Here is the All Saints Hunmanby website link in blue for Sunday morning - The service will be available anytime on Sunday.
 
SUNDAY 13th December AUDIO SERVICE -   You will find the service in two or three parts and no need to search for worship songs as these are already included in the service.  
 
A reminder that names of those attending collective worship must be recorded and kept for 21 days for the Test and Trace system. Face coverings are now required by law to be worn in places of worship. Congregational singing is still not permitted.
 
 
This week - Saturday Morning Open Prayer Meeting for the Benefice on Zoom
If you haven't already done so, why not download Zoom onto your device (it's free) and join a 9.30am to 10.00am Saturday morning prayer meeting for the Hertford Benefice. Let me know by Thursday 17th December if you would like to join in on Saturday 19th. I will then send you the link to join the meeting which you join using video - i.e. your device camera (so we can all see each other!). You will be invited to join some minutes early for a 'meet and greet' and to sort any technical issues. Please check that your camera and microphone are unmuted.
 
MORNING PRAYER ONLINE - the service goes out live but a recording of it remains on the website

St Martin's School with it's distinctly Christian ethos is associated with the Parish Church of Scarborough but is also The Deanery School for Church of England families.
