WORSHIP IN CHURCH AND ONLINE

Now that we are in step four, official restrictions are lifted and so all are welcome to attend. We will be maintaining a range of habits and moving gradually on the reintroduction of other practices.

Do speak with the clergy or churchwardens if you have any specific queries or comments. God bless and keep us all.

The Parish Eucharist for 26 September (Seventeenth Sunday after Trinity) at Holy Trinity led by Mark can be viewed as a YouTube video. You are invited to take part by following along with the order of service.

Service for 3 October (Harvest Festival)
The All Age Eucharist at Holy Trinity will be led by Mark and will be uploaded to YouTube later in the day.

Services from previous weeks are on the Merton Priory Parish YouTube channel and listed on the 'Looking back' page on the Team website.

PRIVATE PRAYER IN CHURCH

Holy Trinity remains open for private prayer, so if any church member or someone from the wider community wishes to make use of that, these are the times of opening: Monday 3.00–6.00 p.m. and Thursday 11.00 a.m.–1.00 p.m.

We pray for our NHS, for all afflicted with COVID, for those who have died, for all who grieve, for the roll-out of the vaccine and for one another: O God, make speed to save us; O Lord, make haste to help us.

WORSHIP AT HOME

Worship at Home When it isn't possible to join with the local church, this outline is designed to help you have a short time of worship as a household. You are also invited to follow the Royal School of Church Music's Hymn of the Day, and Sunday Self-Service, a simple act of worship with music, readings and prayers which will change weekly. (29 March 2020)

Spiritual Communion The term 'Spiritual Communion' describes the means of grace by which a person, prevented for some serious reason from sharing in a celebration of the Eucharist, nonetheless shares in the communion of Jesus Christ. You are invited to join in these prayers as an opportunity to give thanks for your communion with him while unable to be present at the Eucharist. (3 May 2020)
