Another exception to the closure of church buildings is “For the purpose of hosting essential voluntary or public service, such as food banks, homeless services, and blood donation sessions”. Yesterday the Blood Transfusion service were in contact to ask if they could use our church hall as a Blood donation centre in the next few weeks. I will give you more details when they confirm a date.

Shops Offering Home Delivery
If you don’t want to risk going out of the house, there are a number of local shops that are offering home delivery services. Orders can be placed via telephone, if you don’t like internet shopping. There may be many more but here are a few that I have noticed. I haven’t used any of these services yet so I can’t comment on how good they are. Send me details if you know of any more.

Day 26 - Trypraying 2020
Whenever anyone turns to the Lord the veil is taken away… and we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. 2 Corinthians 3:16-18
I hope you all stay safe.
