26th March
Dear Friends,
Through these strange times I hope that you are able to keep your spirits up and your eyes fixed on our loving God.
Sunday worship
There will be an audio service similar to last week that people can engage with at any time/their normal service time.
8 am - We will be sending out emails and paper copies of talks to those who attend the 8am.
10.30
am - I am intending to do a service using Zoom at 10.30 am, which
people will be invited to join.
6.30 pm - Jane B is putting something together for what would have been 'Deeper still'.
Other resources
A friend of Richard S's has put together this website which has helpful information (including input from Richard) and answers. You may like to have a look here. It can also be found here.
Here is a short video on joining a meeting in Zoom - but it is also easy to set up
when you get a meeting invite via email (which will come on Saturday). My dad did it in 5 minutes while I was online with him!
Fruit and veg boxes
Lastly,
I have been told Gardners Fresh Produce is a Harlow family catering
provider who have switched to selling fruit & veg boxes, milk, eggs
etc to the public. It seems the best link to use is the one with information via facebook as their main website just refers to catering supplies.
Bless you all and let's keep on looking to our God who holds us and walks with us through these challenging times,
With love
Sarah
