Dear all
First, a reminder of the joyful news that St Mary Abbots will re-open for public worship on Sunday 12th July! We look forward very much to welcoming you back to our church. On Sunday 12th July we shall initially be offering three services: 8 am Holy Communion (BCP) 9.30 am Holy Eucharist (preacher: Alice Ormondroyd) Provision for accompanied children on the long Playground. 11.15 am Matins (preacher: The Revd Emma Dinwiddy Smith) Due to Government guidelines, there will still be certain limitations to our worship; in particular we are asked not to include any congregational singing, but our worship will be enhanced by the organ and by a solo Cantor at our two principal services. Full details from the guidelines will be sent out next week and announced at the start of each service. We are asked to maintain a record of attenders for "track and trace" purposes, and there may be a limit on the numbers permitted to attend. We are therefore asking if you could sign up for the service you are planning to attend via Eventbrite, to enable us to monitor both numbers and contacts, using the links HERE.

We hope very much that you will be able to join us online this Sunday at 10.30 am for our monthly Family Eucharist (service button below), as we welcome our new Curate, Alice Ormondroyd, to the parish. Our thanks, as always, to the children who have contributed to this service by reading and praying, and to all who have so faithfully supported our online worship week by week over this period, or who have continued to study and pray at home. We hope to be able to record a Sunday service in church in the weeks ahead, and to continue to make them available each week on our website and YouTube channel for those who remain shielding or self-isolated - please watch this space!
