Thy Kingdom Come Day of Prayer 17th May

By Sharon Comment Closed
Our commitment as a Benefice is to pray as a community continuously for the 12 hours 07:00 – 19:00. This year we are opening a “virtual prayer room” for bookings, using the 24/7 Prayer site. There is no actual online “room”, those praying promise, by booking a “slot”, to pray during the period they have booked, in their own homes, in private.   The 24/7 Prayer site is a booking system that allows anyone to commit to a “slot” – 30 minutes, 60 minutes or longer – during which time they will pray for whatever is on their minds, whether this be for the benefice, the church, the world.   We simply ask people to commit to actively praying in the slot they choose. The site for booking is on: https://www.24-7prayer.com/emailredirect/b79b48dd646ef0af02646b332a92d855/ There is no need to log-in, simply click on “Book as Guest” and leave your email so we know who’s praying! Thy Kingdom Come is all about praying for people to come to know the amazing, life-transforming love of...

Lent Appeal

By Sharon Comment Closed
Lenten Giving With schools once again closed due to the pandemic, it is clear that many students still do not have access to a computer, laptop or data, and this lack of access to digital technology for all pupils, is demonstrating existing inequalities in households. You can go a little way towards helping some of our local young people this Lent, by making a donation to: 3 Villages Lent Appeal Lent is not just a time for “giving things up”, but for simply “giving” too! All funds raised will be donated to Mandeville School in Aylesbury, and spent on IT support for students in need of assistance. Please make online payments to Alicia Howard  20 74 09  50983772 referencing your payment LENT or cash/cheque in envelopes clearly marked LENT to Great Barn, School Lane, Chearsley. Many thanks, Alicia (Churchwarden at St Nicholas’ Church, Chearsley)...

News on Services

By Sharon Comment Closed
Hello everyone. It is with heavy hearts that we have taken the decision to suspend our regular Sunday Services in church as we enter this new national lockdown. I acknowledge that this will be painful and costly for those of you who’ve been in a position to attend services in church since July, but I sincerely believe that this is the best way of blessing our whole village at this time. The decision was taken in response to the government’s call for us to do all we can to prevent the spread of coronavirus, the overwhelming burden on our health service right now, and rising cases locally. We will review the decision at the end of January. I will, by exception, be making monthly provision for those who are concerned for their spiritual well-being as a result of this decision, for example because they cannot access or engage with online services, or for whom taking communion physically is essential for their spiritual health....
