A Message from the South Croydon Benefice
Dear Friends
In view of the present situation, the two Parish Church Councils
have voted to suspend public worship from Monday 11th to Friday
29th January. We will decide whether to renew this suspension
towards the end of this period.
Many of you have already been staying at home, and I hope that you
will continue to worship online. Others will be disappointed, but I
hope that you will stay in touch with your church family through
our YouTube services, our Zoom events, and by telephone or email.
We can still talk and pray together, even if we can't be
together.
The Ministry Team will put together a full programme of
online events, and I will announce more details at the weekend. The
Mission Action Plan and Stewardship Launch will continue through
January and early February, but all the information will be
delivered online or by post.
Please continue to pray for the Benefice, for our local
communities, and for all those affected by
Coronavirus.
Best wishes
Geoff
The Revd Dr Geoff Dumbreck
Vicar
