Thursday 24 September 2020 Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ, I look forward to seeing many of you on Sunday. The church is now full, but you can listen to the service online. This will be available from Saturday evening. Thanks, as always, to Hector, Martin and Art for putting this together. If you miss the service this Sunday, you are also welcome to join us at Chapelle Romande in Thun, 6.30pm, 1st October. This will be a repeat of the Sunday service. Please ask for further details From this Sunday, 27th September, we will be following the new Covid protection measures from the Diocese of Europe and we ask that all adults wear a mask inside church. I know that noone enjoys wearing a mask, but I hope that we will all do so for the common good. (Of course, I understand that very occasionally someone may have a medical issue preventing them wearing a mask). Next Sunday, 4th October, will be the final Sunday in Creation Season and we will be remembering Francis of Assisi. The booking link for next Sunday is here. Or you can ring the office. On Sunday 4th October, we will have our Junior Church open again. This will take place the first Sunday of every month. Any children attending should be taken straight to the lower hall before the service starts. We want to encourage all families with children to attend this service so we plan to give them priority when sorting out the seating. The service on Sunday 4th October will be repeated on Wednesday 7th October, 10.30am. If you are able to come to the service on the Wednesday please consider coming then rather than coming on the Sunday. There is no need to book, but please let the office know if you would like to attend. Creation SeasonChildren's song (enjoyable for EVERYONE!): I hope that everyone has been able to listen to the different YouTube versions of All God's Creatures have a Place in the Choir which I have sent out over the last few weeks. This brings a smile to my face every week! Here's a version for this week. And if you missed the wonderful muppet version last week, here it is. Jubilee for the Earth:
News from the Bishop:
Inspiration from Trees
Beatus VirCome to the place, where every breath is praise
your arms with Christ beneath these rooted trees,
open alike to sun and rain. Arise
in the trees' long wisdom. Learn to share
Slowly discern a life, a truth, a way,
(Malcolm Guite) With my love in Christ,
