Dear Friends,

As promised I am sending out suggestions for preparation for coming to the Eucharist on Sunday 23rd at 11am at St Mary's Lynton. I have included the practical guidance I sent out on Sunday, but added a second piece on ways to make spiritual preparation so that in the midst of something that feels a bit new we can each draw on the depth of our own relationship with God and find ways of expressing that within the liturgy we will share.

I hope those who feel it is too soon to return to church will be heartened by my suggestions of times when we hold our whole church fellowship in prayer and I would ask you to join us in the prayer of your hearts at 11am on Sunday. Of course, the Youtube reflection and sermons will come out as normal.

My thanks to Barbara and Rod and Keith and Vivien for their work in preparing St Mary's for Sunday.

God bless,

Samantha
