You Are Welcome

bellringers, News, Prayers

PRESS ASSOCIATION/Danny Lawson

You may have heard the muffled bells ringing at Saint Nicholas’ today as a mark of respect for the passing of her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Many of us are saddened by the loss of such a constant presence. It is understandable if you feel more unsettled than you thought you would as events like this can evoke our experiences of personal grief and consideration of our own mortality.

Please remember that all are welcome at our churches – even if you do not think of yourself as religious or Christian. Both churches are open all day.

Join Us for Silent Prayer – Wednesday 10 March 12.30pm

Prayers

Please visit this page at 12.30pm on Wednesday 10 March and read the following text to yourself. Although we are currently joined in silent prayer in our own homes, when we return to church, the Sr Nicholas’ Julian Group will be trialling a new time of monthly Wednesdays at 12.30pm.
