B. Zoom services
The morning service normally begins at 11.00 but the meeting will open at 10.45 to allow everyone time to log in. Do invite friends and family. The Evening service begins at 7.00 and we gather from 6.45 to allow everyone time to log in.
If you would like to join in email Catharine
cgrievson@btopenworld.com and she will email the link to you. If you are already on the mailing list it will be sent automatically to you. After the morning service zoom will be left open so people can stay and chat or wave as long as they like. You can even get a cuppa or put on the Sunday lunch and then come back!
As a cautionary word it’s your own risk if you click on ‘share screen’, as useful as it is, there have been warnings that with the increased use of zoom in the present situation sadly hackers may try their luck. For the same reason please don’t put the invitation link on Facebook or any social media
For Sunday services we are having a zoom holiday in August. We will still be having zoom evening prayer on Wednesdays and singing on Thursdays. Zoom/Online on a Sunday will return in September.
W. Tools with a mission (TWAM)
The PCC were recently made aware of this charity TWAM It collects tools and equipment that people no longer use or need, and ships them in containers to Africa, where they are used to provide employment for men and women who are without the means to buy tools. A recent email from the charity is worth looking at , please follow the link
When it is ten sticks, they will not break (mailchi.mp)
There are lots of details on the website of what they collect and also stories about the recipients, and the way it has changed their lives. The PCC would like to support this practical charity by helping raise awareness of the possibility of recycling unwanted tools which are laying in people sheds and garages. Also needed wool and knitting needles and patterns. Please do that the time listen and watch this video it outlines all the work of the charity
We have set up a collection point in church under the tower, and we have had a pledge of transport to deliver tools to the nearest collection point in Doncaster. More details soon

Faithful God,
In this time of anxiety and uncertainty,
may your love be known more widely than any illness.
and may we remember that
your compassion is deeper than our distress, your hope is brighter than the darkness that is upon us,
and may our loved ones, our neighbours,
and all those who worship in churches across our deanery.
be bound together with your bonds of love and faithfulness,
that, together, we may rejoice in your gifts and graces.
In Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.
