CHRISTIAN AID WEEK, 15th - 21st MAY:
There will not be a Christian Aid House to House collection around the villages but donations may be made online. A special fundraising page for the Brickhills has been set up to provide an easy way for our village communities to give a gift this Christian Aid Week. For the first time in a generation, global poverty is rising. Covid-19, conflict, and the climate crisis are pushing more of our global neighbours into a struggle for survival. Please consider making a donation via the following link:-

A PRAYER FOR PEACE IN UKRAINE:
The Bishop of Oxford, the Rt Revd Dr Steven Croft, is calling for parishes and churches to pray for peace in Ukraine:-
God of compassion,
Have mercy this day on the people of Ukraine.
Restore to them the gift of peace.
Grant wisdom to the governments of the world.
Bring good in the midst of evil and suffering,
For the sake of Jesus Christ your Son,
Who gave his life to bring peace to your world
Amen.
CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) INFORMATION:-
The dedicated section “CORONAVIRUS” on this website (icon on left) provides all the information on the regulations, restrictions, services and recordings during the pandemic.
Latest COVID regulations, 21st March:
New guidelines were issued by the Church of England on 21st March 2022. The following changes were then made:
- The collection plate can be passed round as before the pandemic
- The peace may be shared in whatever way is deemed appropriate for those attending; parishioners are asked to please be mindful that there are some who need to be more cautious than others.
The chalice may once again be offered at Holy Communion. It was agreed at the Benefice Wardens' Meeting on Thursday 7th April that the chalice will be offered at all four churches but there will be no pressure on parishioners to receive the wine if they prefer not to do so.
