Harvest Gifts
Our harvest themed service will be on October 4th at 11am online. If you want to contribute to our harvest gifts you can contribute by either –
-
dropping off some items to Christ Church on a Sunday or Monday via the office door which will be taken to the food bank. They are particularly in need of sun cream, coffee, meat pies (eg Fray Bentos), tinned peas, deodorant, chocolate and soap.
-
giving money which will go to a Christian charity working in a poor area of the world. To do this either drop a cheque in to either church (payable to Parish of Herne Bay) or if you internet bank please do use that method calling the transfer Harvest.
Thank you for helping those in need.
Annual Meeting
Our annual meeting is at 4.00pm on October 18th in Christ Church or you can join by zoom. It is an important meeting in the life of the church where we hear reports and elect Churchwardens, PCC members and Deanery Synod members. Please do plan to come either in person or via zoom.
If you wish to stand for any of the roles an information sheet can be accessed
HERE. If you wish to stand or vote then you need to be on the electoral roll. A current copy is in Christ Church, but you can also check by ringing Hazel on 01227 749762. Please do leave an answerphone message if needed. If you are not on roll please request a form from Hazel and return it as soon as possible.
If you wish to join the meeting via zoom please email Anthony on vicar@parishofhernebay.org.uk and on Thursday 15th October the meeting details will be sent . If you wish to come to Christ Church we will ensure there is enough safe spacing, but we will all need to wear masks.
Tuesday Zoom Prayers
We are now doing our Tuesday Prayer Breakfast by Zoom, email the office on office@parishofhernebay.org.uk and we will send you a link. For September 22nd and 29th Christ Church will be open at 9.00am for private prayer rather than being connected to the Zoom meeting.
Thursdays at 7.00am
On Thursday mornings at 7.00am join us for thirty minutes on our Facebook page
www.facebook.com/ChristChurchStAndrews for a led Facebook live prayer gathering which you can join in listening and/or by typing your own prayers (people press ‘like’ to say Amen!). A great opportunity to reflect and pray.
Sunday Services - 26th September 2020
There will be a 9:00am Service of the Word at Christ Church. Everyone attending the Sunday Service at Christ Church or individual prayers at Church will be required to wear a mask, unless they are exempt from doing so.
It is vital that if you or anyone in your household has symptoms that could be Covid19 that you do not attend and that all who do attend follow the clearly marked instructions in the building. It is our Christian responsibility to act with due care for others.
Also, on Sunday at 10.50am a link will be posted
HERE and on our Facebook page, which will give access to our Sunday service. A great opportunity for all to gather at the same time for worship so if you open the link before 11.00am you will be encouraged to press pause on the opening slide and start the service at 11.00am by pressing play.
If you watch the service starting at 11.00am, 5 minutes after the end of the service (so you can get a tea or coffee!) Denise will be hosting on
Facebook Live and will interact with any posts for about 30 minutes.

Daily Worship
From Friday 28th August we will be changing the way we do our daily worship. We will, over the next fortnight, post 14 worships which will be used in a repeating two week pattern.
You are welcome to join the church family in this worship at either 3.30pm or 7.30pm, so you will know others are joining you.
If you would like to suggest prayers or a reading for one of these times please e-mail them to vicar@parishofhernebay.org.uk'
