Online Services during the COVID 19 period.
Great success has been achieved using our Online Services facility during the weeks of the COVID
19 period. (See the Welcome page for further details and how to access them.)
For our Sunday 9.30 communion services we have been averaging between 50 and 70 participants.
The midweek services on Wednesdays (BCP Communion) and Thursdays (Morning Prayer) have also
achieved good attendance. The introduction of the ‘Hall of Friends’ on Tuesdays has also proved
popular for many to catch up with the latest happenings both in the Church family and the
community.
On Remembrance Sunday (8th. November) we had a special non communion service and invited
people from the community to participate with readings, poems etc. We included the Roll call of
those that were lost in the two world wars from all our three parishes, including Knotting. It was
well received and around 100 people participated.
(Left) We were very pleased that our
Borough Councillor- Doug McMurdo and
Cadet Cpl. Oscar Anders both did readings
for this service.

Acts of Remembrance in the Benefice
Despite the COVID 19 Restrictions, we were able to perform our usual ceremonies at our
three War Memorials this year. In Sharnbrook the invited smaller socially distanced gathering
initially met at the ‘Tommy and Memorial seat, where a short prayer was said before the
procession to the Churchyard and War Memorial’

We also hosted for the Deanery an Ascension Day evening Communion on 21st. May when the Rural
Dean and other clergy from the deanery assisted with Readings and Intercessions.

It was followed by the Acts of Remembrance at the War Memorials as highlighted above.
Following prayers read by our
‘Churches Together’ members,
representatives of The British
Legion, our Parish Council and
village uniformed organisations
laid their wreaths. Rev. Nick
Munday officiated at this service.
