Dear all,
We in the Hertford Benefice extend our deepest sympathy to Her Majesty the Queen and the Royal Family on the death of His Royal Highness Prince Philip.
The Church of England has opened an online condolence book following the announcement from Buckingham Palace of the death of HRH Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh. Here is the link.
The Government has advised that in order to observe current Covid-19 precautions, physical condolence books should not be offered at this time.
Bishop of Whitby Paul Ferguson offers a Reflection for Sunday 11th April, revised in the light of the death of HRH the Duke of Edinburgh.
Every week, the Diocese of York offers a reflection and prayer resource on video, for churches to use in their Sunday worship, either online or in church as we return to our buildings.
Find the video on the Diocese of York website or at vimeo.com/dioceseofyork.
