St John’s Bellingdon – Sunday Service 8th November 2020

Dear all

In what seems like no time at all it’s Saturday again and so time to upload our the service for St John’s Bellingdon for Sunday 8th November (Remembrance Sunday) onto YouTube.

Once again we’ve filmed most of it in church and continued with the words and images together – and we’ve stayed with the slightly different angle so that you can still see the flowers and the communion table but add some other shots for the Act of Remembrance (now I’m working on how to make the transition between videos better!).

This week our Psalm is Psalm 70 and readings are 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 and Matthew 25:1-13 and they are read by Fionnagh with me leading the intercessions.

It is on the Parish YouTube channel as usual – and this link should take you there

but it’s in the same place as usual and you’ve lots of experience now of on line services!

As before the service is available after 09.45 tomorrow when it goes public (and live)!

I’ve attached the notice sheets for St Mary’s and the Parish.

Our next afternoon service in the building was due to be on 8th November – Remembrance Sunday – but the new lockdown means we can’t meet in the church building. Instead I’d encourage you to tune in to Songs of Praise led by Martin Paxton with Jean Corfield speaking and recorded at St Mary’s before the lockdown. It on the St Mary’s YouTube channel and the link is

Also if you’d like another way to mark Remembrance Sunday safely then the Royal British Legion are encouraging people to stand in silence outside their houses at 11.00 on Sunday.

With prayers and best wishes to you all
