Recovering from the death of someone we love, often means trying to make sense of a world turned upside down.

Coping with grief is exhausting, painful and can be lonely. We may not wish to share with family members for fear of upsetting them. It takes time to regain our bearings, to see that life can be good again, although changed.

We can help by offering support through:

Telephone befriending
Working in a group with others who have been bereaved
Meeting you in a local cafe for a chat over a coffee.

If you would like further details do ring the Alice Cross centre on 01626 778039

Following a number of requests from parishioners, the Clergy Team have reintroduced the common cup across the mission community at midnight mass.

Church of England guidance provides for this, and it will be done with careful consideration for covid safety.

It is important to state that reception in one kind, i.e. only taking the bread and not the wine, is regarded as full and complete communion and no-one should feel any pressure to receive in both kinds if they have any concerns about doing so.

Bread and wine will both be offered to communicants. Those wishing to receive in one kind may indicate by keeping their hands down or a shake of the head that they prefer not to take the wine, or by returning to their seat straight after receiving the bread.
For those who do choose to receive the wine, the chalice will be given a quarter turn between each communicant so that each communicant drinks from a different side. After four communicants the rim of the chalice will be cleaned using fresh communion wine - ie alcohol
It will no longer be possible for either the priest or the communicant to intinct (dip the bread into the wine).

We ask everyone to please refrain from taking the common cup if you feel unwell.
