Morning Prayer, 9 August
Morning Prayer for Sunday 9 August from St Mary's Eaton Bray. The service can be followed using the Service Booklet for Sunday 9 August.
Coronavirus
After a lot of hard work and planning, St Mary's, Eaton Bray will be able to open safely for Morning Worship on Sundays from 2nd August. To assist with cleaning, there will be just one service at 10.00am. Doors will be open from 9.45am.
We will be doing our best to meet the Archbishops' challenge to bring 'church' to people in different ways, so please revisit this website and our Facebook page each week to access our latest Morning Prayer video.
If you are in need of help, please ring the Vicar on 01525 220261 or send a message via the contact page.
Prayer
Keep us, good Lord,
under the shadow of your mercy
in this time of uncertainty and distress.
Sustain and support the anxious and fearful,
and lift up all who are brought low;
that we may rejoice in your comfort
knowing that nothing can separate us from your love
in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Amen.
St Mary's, Eaton Bray is also open for private prayer on Wednesdays 10-4. Please read the notices inside the church.
All Saints, Dagnall will remain closed until further notice.
Donate to St Mary's
Give A Little
St Mary's now has an online giving platform. It has been suggested to the PCC that some church members will have made a big saving on petrol during these weeks of lockdown and so might like to donate one week's worth of petrol (or more!) to help us make up for the fund raising events we haven't been able to hold and which are so important in maintaining our historic church.
If you can help, be one of the first to use our new platform. Many thanks!
