Greetings from the Cambridge Unitarian Church, 18th December 2021 – A temporary return to online services, a note about the online Christmas Eve Communion Service, and a reminder about the SLACK site
Greetings to you all,
With great reluctance, the church committee has decided to return to online services until it becomes genuinely clear about the safest way to hold face-to-face services whilst the new wave of the pandemic unfolds.
As the minister, I wholly support and concur with their decision and thank them for making it.
Consequently, the Sunday morning service of mindful meditation will start online at 10.30am promptly and will finish at approx 11.20am before going into a time of conversation. We’ll use the form of service/conversation we used whilst in the lockdown.
The Zoom link for the service is the one we have been using throughout but, for ease of reference, I paste it here:

As we successfully did last year, we’ll be holding an online Christmas Eve Communion Service on Friday, December 24th, starting at 18:30 GMT. People can log in from 18:15pm, and the service will last approximately 40/45 minutes. Following the service there’ll be a short time to meet and greet one another.
Properly to take part you will need to print up (or have sight of) the Order of Service (link below). If you wish to save some paper you need not print pages 4, 5 & 6 which contain the readings.
If you wish to share in the communion you will also need to hand a small glass of wine/grape-juice and a small piece of bread.
I look very much forward to seeing some of you then.
Order of Service

As most of you know we now have a church SLACK site that enables those who join it to be in touch with each other freely about church events, volunteering for the coffee and music rotas, etc., etc.. Think of it as a digital version of the church common room after the morning service. To join the church SLACK site please be in touch with me directly.
For those interested in reading my blog and/or listening to the associated podcast please follow the links below my signature here.
Lastly please remember that if you would like to speak with me during the week simply be in touch and we can arrange a suitable time to talk properly either by telephone, Zoom, at the church or on a walk around the greens of Cambridge.
With love and best wishes as always,
Andrew
