Separation and connection: shrinking social distancing
at Coleshill Parish Church

​
Our church has been standing for Christ at the heart of this community in North Warwickshire for hundreds of years, in good times and bad.

Our aim as God's people in this place has always been to serve the Lord Jesus Christ, make his name and love known as widely as possible, and to serve the community in which God has placed us.

We may be suspending our normal activities, but we are not pausing our ministry to you:  the extreme and unsettling time we are all going through means that we can find new ways to minister, and make plans to worship as a dispersed community.

One of the ways is praying for the community at noon every day.

​Another is to offer a mini service on line, with my homily and a hymn.  

​On offer, too, is the Sunday Paper on line to keep you in touch with what's going on.  Several use this popular way of keeping current.  Click here for a contact email address.
​
To be remembered in prayer, let us know here.
​
Be safe, take care of yourself and others, and keep praying.

We can't get to church, but the dispersed community can have a DIY Easter. 

There are lots of CofE resources, but here are a few eggsamples.

Maundy Thursday 
- washing the feet of those in your house.
- stripping your dining table (like we would the altars) - goes well with redressing it with cloth and flowers (if possible!) on Easter Day.


Easter Day 
- joining in with the ‘Sing Resurrection’ initiative from CTBI, which encourages everyone to sing the hymns Jesus Christ is risen today and Thine be the glory outdoors at 10 am (words and tunes).

- lighting a candle at dawn using the following prayer: Christ yesterday and today, the beginning and the end, Alpha and Omega, all time belongs to him, and all ages; to him be glory and power, through every age and for ever. Amen.

 Beacon and eggs for Easter

 The spire will be a beacon of hope as it is lit each evening until the pandemic is over.  See here for opportunities to sponsor.

And remember: The light shines in the darkness and the darkness did not overcome it.  John 1.5
Not so much a mason's mark as a chip off the old block of wood found during current heating and seating work in church.  Who is Paul Anstee?
