Vicar's Newsletter for 7 February

Dear all,
 
A reminder that Ash Wednesday is on 17th February. There will be a service for the start of Lent that evening at 7pm at Hunmanby. Next week's newsletter will contain details of links for some Lent resources should you wish to use them for your Lenten devotions. 
 
There's a service at 11am in All Saints Hunmanby tomorrow 7th February and Sunday 14th will be a service of Holy Communion. Adherence to the strictly applied Covid-safe rules will be required by all who attend including wearing of mask, gelling hands on entry and exit, staying 2m apart and not mingling or chatting on entry or exit, but dispersing promptly. 
 
If you are shielding or have particular concerns about  meeting with others then it is best that you remain at home. The same goes for anyone showing Covid-19 symptoms of course.
 
When you click on the All Saints Hunmanby website link you will notice that the website has undergone a makeover  looks somewhat different. 
 
Please note that the online service this Sunday will be available in one file (not 3 separate files as previously).
Please see new instructions below. This is a test to see if it has sufficient sound quality in one file. If you have any comments about this test please to let me know. Thank you.
 
Please do get in touch with me if you have any questions or just to have a chat. 
 
Prerecorded Audio Service on Sunday 7th February:  2nd Sunday Before Lent. You will find the order of service and song words attached to the sound file. If you open these files online the sound will continue to play. It was recorded in church last Sunday so you get it a week late.

PAUSE TO PRAY As you will probably be aware and as the number of people across the UK who have died after contracting Covid-19 this week exceeded 100,000, the Archbishops have issued an invitation to pause, reflect on the “enormity of this pandemic”, and to set aside time to pray each evening from next Monday. You can find their letter and prayer resources at www.churchofengland.org/resources/prayer-nation.

    Gracious God,
    as we remember before you the thousands who have died,
    surround us and all who mourn with your strong compassion.
    Be gentle with us in our grief, protect us from despair,
    and give us grace to persevere and face the future with hope
    in Jesus Christ our risen Lord.
    Amen.

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.
