<div>Covid Following C of E and Government <span style="font-size: 1rem;">advice following the reversion of ‘Plan B’, </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">face coverings will continue to be worn</span></div><div>at services, and social distancing within the church <span style="font-size: 1rem;">observed. Holy Communion will be available in both </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">Kinds (but this is entirely optional). Social distancing </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">outside worship is being relaxed.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 1rem;">Walsingham Pilgrimage This year’s </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">parish pilgrimage will be June 20-24 </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">(Monday-Friday). If you’d like to reserve </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">your place, please let Jane Laurence have </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">your £10 initial deposit. If you haven’t </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">been before – do try it!</span>

<div>Winter Services As the new heater has been <span style="font-size: 1rem;">installed in the Vestry, services Tuesday- </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">Friday will be held there, where we can</span></div><div>keep warmer!</div>

<span style="font-size: 1rem;">Outlook The February issue is available </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">online under the parish website and a </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">few hard copies will be available at the </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">back of church.</span>

<div>CCTV Further (discreet!) cameras are being <span style="font-size: 1rem;">added to our existing system to improve </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">security, both of the building, and those </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">working in it. Hopefully, this will take place </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">at the end of March. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 1rem;">Audio Visual System A much improved </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">sound (and loop) system is planned to be </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">installed after Easter, along with a more </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">professional streaming service. Both these </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">will have minimal visual impact, although there will be </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">speakers in the gallery. Over 1000 people a month view </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">streamed services, and even weekday ones attract </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">between 30 and 50 views each day. </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">Both the CCTV and AV systems’ upgrade are </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">only possible due to the kindness of </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">departed church members who have left </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">legacies. The CCTV is coming from a sum left by the late </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">Neil Trood, and the AV system from the legacy of the late </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">Ann White. We are most thankful to them, and pray that </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">they may rest in peace. The Parochial Church Council has </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">a policy of putting all legacies into reserves for capital </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">projects. Please do remember the Church in your will. </span>
