Vicar’s Letter – September




A history of St Paul’s Players has been added to the “Our Heritage” heading drop down menu and can be found at “St Pauls Players”.
Following further sound problems during the live streaming of the 10am service on August 16th the link below is the text of the Sermon and the Gospel reading.
15th August 2020 Display in honour of the 75th Anniversary of V J Day, marking both the surrender of Japan and the end of the Second World War. We remember and recognise all those who served and sacrificed in the Far East and ultimately brought an end to World War Two.



Because of technical difficulties during the live streaming of the morning service on August 9th the complete Vicar’s sermon was not broadcast. The link below is the text of the sermon.
The following message has been received from Eileen :
I will probably go once a month to the Mustard Tree while this lasts. If the Congregation could bring any contributions they have on Sunday we will load them straight into my car boot and that way nothing is going into church or the hall.
Regards Eileen



On July 5th the Sunday morning 10am service was live broadcast from inside Church. This was a practice service for a few invited persons to prepare for a hoped for re-opening of the Church on July 12th for a regular 10am Sunday service for our congregation. Government Guidelines have to be adhered to meaning that parts of the experience will differ from what we have become used to.
The photo below is a screen shot (reversed to show the interior as it should be) taken during the service.

In the afternoon the Church bells were rung to celebrate the 72nd birthday of the NHS and the short video below shows some of this.
