Streamed Worship Notes

Log on for Sunday morning online streamed worship from 10:30am, please email office@westpurbeck.org.uk for the link (as above).

Morning prayer is held online daily from Monday to Friday.

You are most welcome to join in either or both the above and if you would like to have more details please email the Church Office. You would need to give your contact details including an email address and phone number. We can't publish the links here for security reasons, but you are still very welcome.*

It is highly recommended not to 'arrive' at the very last minute as most people enjoy it more by taking a little while to get a good connection sorted out, to iron out any queries, and to say hello. Also arriving in good time prevents you being excluded inadvertently by the security lock (see next paragraph).

* The service is locked for admission soon after the start time to prevent abusive internet behaviour which sadly has happened occasionally to other churches using online worship.

From the Vicar

There should be something for everyone, so please do come and bring any visitors with you. We always welcome people from throughout the Benefice and beyond, including those who are visiting, to all our services, so if the service in the church in your parish is at the wrong time for you, please do come along to any of the other churches.

Also, please note that we welcome people from all Christian denominations to all our services, and that anyone who normally receives communion in their own church, of whatever denomination, is very welcome to share in the bread and wine of communion with us if they wish. The only qualification is that you love the Lord Jesus!

If you need a lift to anything, please contact one of the clergy or your local churchwarden.

And please let one of us know if you are unable through illness or infirmity to get to church, or if you know anyone else who is ill or housebound. We are happy to bring them their communion in their own home.

The Holy Rood website (part of the West Purbeck Benefice) is hosted by Krystal Hosting, to whom we are very grateful
