Communion This Sunday
A message from Rev. Jo 🙂
“There will be a communion service at Broadwindsor Church this Sunday, 19 July, at the unusual time of 9.30am. Do please join us if you would like.
The church is socially distanced, with strict hygiene protocols in place. You will be asked to sanitise your hands on entry and exit, we will keep contact details for track and trace and the doors will be open to promote good air flow. So dress for a chilly church, even in July.
We would love to see you for worship at 9.30am.
Many thanks Jo”

Mountjoy School Looking For Outdoor Learning Structure.
Mountjoy School in Beaminster have issued a plea:
“This is a plea for anyone who can help Mountjoy School in Beaminster.
We are developing our outdoor learning space to create a Forest and Beach School area to enable our children to access outdoor learning even when they cannot go off-site. With such uncertain times ahead we want to be able to offer the best possible experiences for our children and young people.
CAN YOU HELP?
We need a structure/shelter such as the ones pictured to base our outdoor classroom and make the area accessible to our students. Maybe you have something in your garden that you no longer need, or are upgrading your glamping business and have an old teepee?
Please get in touch if you can help in any way.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU”

Churches Open With Services This Weekend
Having been forced to close in the wake of the Covid-19 lockdown back in March, The Government’s Guidance now says gatherings of more than 30 people will be allowed for acts of communal worship in churches, synagogues, mosques, temples and meeting rooms in England. However, no more than 30 people will be allowed to attend weddings, funerals and other “life cycle events” such as bar mitzvahs or baptisms.
In his Rector’s update, Rev David stated: “I am very much using this Sunday as a test to look at how we can maintain the safety of those returning to worship, which is a central feature of the guidelines by maintaining a strict two metre spacing between seating. As you can imagine, in some of our smaller churches this reduces the capacity significantly and may make worship non-viable for the time being. I have asked four churches to work with Jo and me – a mix of large, medium, and smaller buildings – to see how this works out. There will be services this Sunday as follows:
BeaminsterÂ
08:00 BCP Eucharist
09:30 CW Eucharist
11:00 – 12:00 Open for private prayer
Broadwindsor
11:00 BCP Eucharist
Stoke Abbott
09:30 BCP Eucharist
Mosterton
11:00 Morning Worship
There will be limited numbers of seats available, especially in the smaller churches, but I would think there will be seats available at 8:00am in Beaminster.
I will be continuing to work with church wardens and key people over the next few days to assess which churches may be able to hold services next week and beyond. This will also be based on what staffing I have available to me, which in reality for July and August, will be three or four at very best.
I am now receiving requests for booked weddings to begin taking place and I again will be working closely with you all to see how this can be facilitated. I have also been asked to hold a funeral service in Beaminster in two weeks’ time and I am grateful to Simon Wakely for his full cooperation at this early stage in looking at how he and his team can support the required stewarding and clean down guidelines that will have to be followed.
I know that this is a testing and nervy time for us all but again, I thank you all for your help and support in what are challenges for us all.
David“
