Service times are on the
services page but
see the latest newsletter for the details of our in-person services
planned.
With the lifting of the
government covid restrictions, the guidance from the Church of
England is that each parish should consider local factors and make
their own decisions on how best for themselves to proceed. We
will be continually reviewing our own guidance and publish
accordingly but regardless of our guidance, we should remember the
overriding need for RESPECT.
RESPECT those
around us, RESPECT the environment we are in and
RESPECT for ourselves.
The virus is still with us and spreading.
Let's make decisions to stay
safe and be wise!
We are
pleased to be able to offer an online version of our monthly
Triangle magazine in case you are not able to get your paper copy
during these times.
You can access the November edition and scroll
through it online from the panel below.

Updated advice on
Coronavirus
Our main concern at all
our services in December in the Benefice is to prevent ruining your
Christmas plans with illness or
self-isolating.
We ask
everyone to wear a mask.
We
will try and keep a balance between warmth and fresh air, so you
might want to keep your coats on.
If
you want to keep an appropriate space between you and any one
sitting next to you, please put a kneeler in the pew. This will
indicate 'please don't sit here!'.
During Christmas, some of our services might get
busy (particularly our Christmas Eve services at Yapton and
Clymping). We are looking at how to best handle these but it would
be really helpful if you felt able to take a Lateral Flow Test
before coming.
Visiting the Church Office: If
you wish to visit the Church Office in person, please email first
to book a time to visit in advance, thank you.
December Events!
Come along to our festive coffee morning
on 3rd December in St Mary's Church Yapton. See our Events page for more

Christmas Fair CANCELLED!
Sadly due to a rise in Coronavirus cases locally we have decided to

December.

Obviously as a result of the prolonged lockdowns
and the disruption to our Church services, our income will now
reduce considerably. Unfortunately, however, the majority of our
expenses still need to be paid, and we see ourselves called to
serve more in these tough times.
Could we please encourage those of you who
normally contribute via weekly envelopes or cash into the
collection, to think about whether you could continue to
contribute, but via different means, namely either by direct
payment from your bank, or if not by perhaps sending a monthly
cheque.
If you need to set up a standing order with your
bank, then for Clymping church it’s:
PCC of St.Marys Clymping, sort code 40-52-40,
account number 00016271
For Yapton and Ford it’s:
Yapton with Ford PCC, CAF Bank sort code 40 52
40, account number 00016631
If you would like to send a cheque, please make
it payable to PCC of St.Marys Clymping, and send to 23 West Close,
Middleton-on-Sea, PO22 7RP.
Or Yapton with Ford PCC, send to 32 Goodhew
Close, Yapton BN18
Thank you very much in advance for any
contributions you can make.

As we navigate our way through these unique times, one of the best
things we can do is to stay in touch and in communion.
