As February runs into its second half and March beckons there is an almost tangible atmosphere around us of hope and renewal. And all of this coincides with the beginning of Spring and Lent, which started on Ash Wednesday this week.
Over recent weeks it has been truly impressive to witness the administration of the vaccine across the country and share in the good news that so many in the church community at AFC have now received theirs.
Since the beginning of this month our church hall has been operating as a designated NHS COVID-19 Testing Station and we have been pleased to offer our facilities to the wider community in this way.
The last time we met for In Person Worship was on January 3rd and next Tuesday, the day after the Prime Minister’s statement, our Elders will gather on Zoom to discuss the situation once again.
AFC are hosting a regular service of Night Prayer/Compline, via Zoom, on Monday evenings, throughout Lent, at 9pm starting next week on 22nd February. The access codes for this, and for the After Church Coffee time this coming Sunday at 11.30am have been sent out to folk on the AGFC list, if you haven't received them and would like to join in, just drop me an email.
So, as Lent starts and we reflect once again on what it means, personally and corporately, to live with ‘wilderness’ in our lives, there are reasons to be hope-filled. We are journeying together through these tough days, holding one another in our thoughts and prayers.
