St John’s Bellingdon – Sunday Service 25th October 2020

Dear all

It’s Saturday again and so time to upload our service for St John’s Bellingdon for Sunday 25th October 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.

This week our Psalm is Psalm 27 and readings are Isaiah 59:9-20 and Luke 14:1-34 and they are read by Chris Emery with Linda leading the intercessions both recorded in church building! And Edward Bowes-Smith is preaching!

It is on the Parish YouTube channel as usual – and this link should take you there https://youtu.be/lguy4BBsVsQ but it’s in the same place as usual and you’ve lots of experience now of online 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.

It was really good to meet with some of you last Sunday for our short service – the next one will be on 8th November – Remembrance Sunday – more details nearer the time.

With prayers and best wishes to you all
