UPDATE – June 16 – St Nicholas’ opening again Fridays 2-4pm
As you know, the Government is allowing churches to start opening for private, individual prayer. However, we are governed by strict hygiene, distancing, and other restrictions. As a leadership team, we feel it would be helpful to try opening again on Friday afternoons from June 19th
this was one of our normal regular times of opening, but so please feel free to come if you want space and peace to pray – we will be observing the hygiene regulations for your safety.
Peoples’ safety is paramount, and although it would be lovely to open the church more, we feel this opening would be manageable.
However, whether the building is open or not, the church continues to offer worship, pastoral care and prayer for our local communities. Do check the website and Facebook page for details of worship, and if you require personal prayer support, do message through those or phone.
Prayer for a Pandemic
May we who are merely inconvenienced remember those whose lives are at stake
May we who have no risk factors remember those most vulnerable
May we who have the luxury of working from home remember those who must choose between preserving their health or making the rent
May we who have the flexibility to care for our children when their schools close remember those who have no options
May we who have to cancel our trips remember those that have no safe place to go
May we who are losing our margin money in the tumult of the economic market remember those who have no margin at all.
May we who settle in for a quarantine at home remember those who have no home.
As fear grips our country, let us choose love.
During this time when we cannot physically wrap our arms around each other,
Let us yet find ways to be the loving embrace of God to our neighbours, Amen
