Coronavirus
We have resumed our usual pattern of Holy Communion services starting at 10am. These will be live streamed, so if you cannot come to church in person, please revisit this website and click the link to access the service on the St Mary's Eaton Bray YouTube channel. A copy of the service booklet is available to download.
If you have not yet been able to join us, please be reassured that our seating and procedures have been arranged to be as safe as possible. Although face masks are no longer mandatory, we believe that while the number of infections is rising, it is advisable for them to still be worn in church. We hope you will support us in this decision.
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.
