IMPORTANT UPDATE on the opening of Church Buildings for Worship and Occasional Offices – FOLLOWING THE GOVERNMENT’S ANNOUNCEMENT FRIDAY 31st JULY –
As from Sunday 8th August we have been advised that all those attending physical Church WILL NEED TO WEAR A FACEMASK OR FACECOVERING while in the Building or socially “Catching Up” afterwards.
This is to help protect others and the wearers themselves and is part of the Government’s strategy to try and minimise the possibility of spreading infection.
Now the live streams are available on YouTube after the service premiers on Facebook, and will be available here on the blog post page and for the following week on this page of our New Creation website https://www.newcreationchurches.org.uk/covid-19/services/
We have been using our New Creation Churches YouTube Channel to produce the music videos of Liz and the boys over lockdown, but are now pleased to announce that our channel is live to view and subscribe.
We will be adding more content, but the new daily blogs based on ’40 Days with the Celtic Saints’ are now available to view there and hopefully the live streams will soon be uploaded.
Download the latest edition of the New Creation Pew News here. It is in a different format just for this week due to the amount of information required to explain the re-opening of churches for services.
Last
week, we looked at the rich story that lies behind the image of Hope “the Tree
of Jesse” offers us in Isaiah ch11 and 12.
This week, we are going to explore how Mark, in his opening chapter
about the life and ministry of Jesus, Mark ch1, gives us both inspiration and a
bit of a ‘blueprint’ as to what some of the key qualities a Church could include
as we emerge from Lockdown. This follows
from the fact that two of our readings this week in our “Daily Blog,” looking
at the life and work of the Holy Spirit, have also come from Mark ch1.
PLUS
An Opportunity to “Share an AGAPE CELEBRATION
together” as part of our Livestream Service.
All you will need is:
Some Bread – this can be an ordinary
bread from around the house, or you may wish to make some; maybe some pitta
bread, a bread roll, something gluten free? – This can be a great activity to
do with others.
Some grapes or fruit of some kind – which
can be for you ‘the Fruit of the Earth,’ whatever you have to hand.
And a glass of water or whatever is your
favourite drink.
Look forward to seeing everyone on Sunday.
And afterwards, join us for the
‘Virtual’ Coffee Morning and catch up. Afterwards, why not join us for the next of
our ‘virtual’ Coffee and catch up? See
the “New Creation Facebook Page” for details of how to join.
