Dear Friends in Chebsey and Norton Bridge, Ellenhall, Ranton, Seighford with Creswell and Great Bridgeford,

Attached is a service of ‘Spiritual Communion’ and a reflection on the Gospel reading for this Sunday. Please do print out and use the liturgy, prayers and reflection tomorrow if you would like to. The hope is that our shared spiritual journey through Lent might continue as we move towards Palm Sunday next week and then Holy Week and Easter. A wonderful spiritual journey at a time when we cannot go far physically.

Be assured of my prayers and thoughts at this time of isolation,

Peace be with you x
