Light a candle

Due to the concerns about the spread of COVID-19 in Britain churches have been asked to cancel services and activities for the time being. Christian leaders of all denominations have responded to the new situation this will create for our churches with a call to prayer and action this coming Sunday.

At this challenging time we are asked to pray for our Government and nation, for each other and especially for those working in our health and emergency services.

As a sign of solidarity and hope in the light of Christ that can never be extinguished Christians are asked to place a lighted candle in their window at 7pm on Sunday March 22. As we take our first steps towards learning to 'be the church' in our changing times this seems a good way to express our desire to be together while unable to gather for worship.
