St Mary's Yapton Re-Opening Times
Worship
from September
Although I
haven’t finalised things the intention is to have a Sunday service
and a Thursday service. Rather than
having to clean
the buildings we can leave them empty for 72 hours to ‘self clean’.
The first week (Sunday and
Thursday) will
be at Yapton, then the second week at Clymping and so on. At the
end of September it will be
reviewed.
We have been told by the bishop of Chichester that masks should be
worn during services.
I’m still not
sure how we will administer the communion bread - this may be a
trial and error process!
I’m already
getting requests for places for week 1, I’m happy to take names
this week but NOT during August as I’m
on annual leave.
Please contact me again after the Bank holiday Monday. It would
helpful if you could tell me if
you’re happy to
come to either Sunday or Thursday or not. I will confirm places
during the week before the service.
Once we get into
the swing of things I’ll be able to confirm places when you contact
me. Bookings will normally only
be taken the
week leading up to the service.
People will be
asked to wait outside church where you will be individually met and
taken to your designated seat.
Phew, does that
make any sense? We have had our first service – a wedding at Yapton
– under these conditions and
it actually
worked ok!
**************************************************
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.
Rev. Richard will produce a regular newsletter
and is asking that you email him so he can build a distribution to
receive the newsletter. His email is on the Contacts
page.
We
will also be making good use of Facebook to socialise and
communicate so please follow cyfchurches Benefices to join
us.

Obviously as a result of all Church services
being suspended, our income will now reduce considerably, but
unfortunately 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.
