St John’s Bellingdon: Sunday Service from 29/03/20

Obviously due to the current movement restrictions nobody is able to attend church in person – so by the magic of technology the Church can come to you. We’ll try to have this week’s service up by Saturday.

The service is open to all, even if you’re not a regular church attendee.

St John’s Church, Bellingdon

For those with internet-linked televisions you should be able to watch it there and (at present) find it by searching (but we may make it private so that it can’t be found by searching – but the link should work!).

The plan was to follow the service at 10.00 on Sunday – but of course you can be flexible.

With prayer and best wishes to all,

Tim Yates, Minister of St John’s Bellingdon

Village Hall Playground closed until further notice

With a heavy heart we have to temporarily close the children’s playground at the hall, following the Prime Minister’s annoucements last night.

The recreation ground will still be open for people to take their daily exercise if they wish, but please remember to stay 2m away from anyone who is not a resident in your household.

We’re closing the car park to discourage gatherings. If driving to the hall is your only way of getting there safely, please park on the section between the gate and the road, there is room for 2-3 cars parked sensibly.

As always please be considerate. We’re facing an unprecedented peacetime situation and its developing rapidly.

Hall closed until further notice

Owing to the current coronavirus situation, the Village Hall Trustees have taken the decision to close the hall for the foreseeable future. We will post further updates as the situation develops and once we have a reopening date. Any confirmed and paid bookings will be fully refunded, including deposits.

The hall will be there when this is all over and we’re doing our best to help those in need during the current situation. If you need any assistance with shopping etc because you’re self isolating please see our poster below and get in touch. If you can help with the effort please also get in touch.

Stay safe and we’ll see you on the other side 🙂 With bunting.
