Woosehill Church Covid 19 Update – 03/04/2020

 

You will be aware that the government has introduced measures aimed at preventing the further spread of corona virus, the effect of which is that our usual pattern of Sunday services and other midweek meetings is on hold.

 

There will, therefore, be no public church services at the church or church-run groups until further notice.   We are very much still here though – if you need prayer please contact us on woosehillprayerchain@gmail.com or if you need any practical help call us on 0118 979 2122.

In the meantime, services will continue to be held on-line as follows:

09.30am each Sunday – Revd. Richard Lamey with contributions from around the Parish – live video recording on Facebook, available afterwards on Facebook or through St Paul’s website (http://www.stpauls-wokingham.org.uk/).

The BBC has announced it is launching a virtual church service on Sundays amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The virtual church service will take place on Sunday mornings at 08.00am across local radio in England. (Our Local Station is Radio Berkshire).

The BBC will also aim to broadcast a weekly Sunday morning church service on BBC One, but this will be subject to outside broadcast capacity.
