We’ve been back in church
now for 4 weeks and it’s been so good to be together, even with all the
restrictions in place. The government is hoping to relax the rules in the next
few weeks, although they are also telling us that the numbers of positive cases
are rising. It’s a case of watch this space. Meanwhile, in doing our best to keep
everyone safe the church is cleaned every week. Every pew downstairs is sprayed
and wiped; the carpet is given a quick Hoover and the toilets are checked over.
It’s not hard work, but it is too much for the two church members who are
regularly carrying out these duties every week. Is there any way you could
help? Currently the church is cleaned from 12noon on a Friday and the work is
finished by 12.45pm. It would also be possible to do this work on Saturday
mornings if that would suit people better, probably from 10am. If you can help on either of those days
please let me know. 01505 320006 or ann.mccool@ntlworld.com. This is a real plea for help, for if the church isn’t cleaned every
week we will not be able to meet for worship.
Please also remember that
you have to book every week, by
Thursday at 6pm at the latest. There is a lot of paperwork involved in planning
the seating which varies from week to week. To book, contact Ann MacMillan by
phone: 07847
312896 or by email jhpchurch@yahoo.co.uk .
A separate service is recorded every Friday morning and is available
on the Church Website jhpchurch.org, on Facebook, or on YouTube. The service on Sunday mornings is recorded on
CD’s. If you’d like a copy of that please contact Willie Crawford 07767 303799.
God bless
