Sherburn services continue being recorded and posted on Facebook and WhatsApp. MASKS: it is now compulsory to wear face coverings in church, as of yesterday, Saturday 8 August. Please do continue to follow instructions, and thank you everyone for your patience in complying with all the very necessary precautionary measures. Congratulations to Fr Nick & Revd Wendy Plant on their Golden Wedding Anniversary on 15 August. Worship in church: we're gradually getting back to the usual pattern of services, and are hopeful that social distancing requirements can now be worked out at Barkston, although last week's outdoor Family Service went very well. It does mean now that …. … Saturday evening Eucharists at 6.00pm will continue, to avoid any possibility, however unlikely, that Fr Chris could carry any infection from one church to another on Sunday mornings, and from next weekend will alternate between Barkston and Saxton, starting with Saxton as there is no Saturday evening service this weekend (8 August). August: as usual in August, no evening midweek Eucharist and no Sunday evening services, BUT Morning Prayer, Thursdays at 9am on Zoom led by Phil (Zoom-joining details below, in diary, which remain the same each week) WILL carry on throughout August. The 9.30am Eucharist on Wednesdays at Micklefield is also carrying on throughout August if you wish to attend a midweek Eucharist. August also has five Sundays, and so there will be the usual Benefices Eucharist on the Fifth Sunday (30 August, Bank Holiday weekend), at the usual Benefices Eucharist time of 10.00am. It was originally scheduled to be at Barkston, but will instead be at Sherburn, which gives sufficient space for social distancing. There will be no other services that day, and no Saturday evening Eucharist on the 29th. From 6 September, the morning service at Micklefield on the first Sunday of the month will be lay-led Morning Prayer. Normal church-sitting at Sherburn is beginning again, but more volunteers to church-sit are desperately needed. If you can spare a couple of hours a week to help, please contact Brenda Thornton, roger.thornton2@btopenworld.com, 01977 684168. Private prayer: Micklefield church is open 10.00am to 4.00pm, Tuesday to Sunday, and Saxton church is open on Sunday afternoons. Selby Foodbank: box for donations is in the Vicarage porch at Sherburn, or you can donate cash instead. Thanks as usual to Philip & Dawn for taking supplies to Selby; NB change of date for the next collection which will be this Friday, 14 August, at 10.00am. Please contact Angie to arrange collection if need be. Regular giving: do please consider giving by standing order or bank transfer instead of weekly collections or envelopes. NB there is now a button on the Benefices website for online giving, though for Sherburn only at present.
