My dearest Friends in the Lord,

I am quite sure you are all enjoying this beautiful sunny weather although, I think, a bit of Spring rain would do good to our fields and our gardens. Let us hope that will happen soon. Children are back in school for Term 5 and non-essential shops are open along with other services.

For now, we continue to hold a weekly Parish on-line service, and this will most probably continue until the lockdown is lifted. For the Sunday of Pentecost, however, we plan to hold three services – at Burton, Scampton and at Ingham, the latter which will be streamed online. More information will follow.

LIVE 10.30 am On-Line Parish Eucharist on ‘zoom’ – Sunday 25^th April 10.30 am

Father Sebastian will lead the service and give a short sermon; we will also listen to some of our favourite hymns or songs.

Please note that this service is streamed from the Ingham church. If you wish to attend this service physically in church and receive Communion, you can do so. We follow all covid-19 guidelines so as to protect each other and care for each other.

Please download the Order of service here.

 You will receive an invitation to join this short online service if you are in the Parish database. If not please contact the Springline Parish Secretary on springline springlinepcc@btinternet.com

George Floyd and us – We are all brothers and sisters, children of our Heavenly Father

Before every other human being, no matter who, “made in the image of God”, we stand on sacred ground. Every human being deserves our respect and must be valued, cherished and supported for his or her God given dignity. Jesus tells us: “Whatsoever you do to the least of your brother or sister, you do it unto me.”
