Parish of Upton cum Chalvey

Update 17 May 2021

A decision will be made regarding further re-opening of our churches and restoration of our liturgies. This pattern has been discussed with the parish wardens and the district wardens, whom I thank for their responses and observations.

Fr Alistair (Vicar)

From Low Sunday (11 April 2021)  until June 6th the pattern is:

Sundays: Mass at St Mary’s, 10am

Tuesdays: Mass at St Mary’s, 10am

Wednesdays: Mass at St Peter’s 9.30am

Thursdays: Mass at St Laurence’s, 10am

Broadband is working in St Mary’s, see link below to view with Zoom

Please inform anyone you can think of who may not have email or internet access.

Your responsibility
Although we take every precaution in our worship to prevent the spread of covid-19 the fundamental responsibility is that of everybody present, in particular in maintaining social distancing at all times, and in covering your face. And do not attend if you have any symptoms which may be covid, or if you have been in contact with any person so diagnosed.

Our shutdown was caused by people not observing these simple precautions; please do not be the cause of another shutdown.

 

Volunteers please

Rotas for sidespeople will be produced: if you are a sidesperson at any church, please volunteer to Derek White-Taylor at St Mary’s, who is taking charge of this until 6th June.

We are also re-introducing some altar serving with a selected and specially trained cadre of servers.
We will also be seeking to produce a readers’ and intercessors’ rota under the management of Revd Linda.

Again, please do not wait to be asked.
