28th July – FACE COVERINGS IN CHURCH AND CHIMES

July 28, 2020 by Nigel Morris

There has been new guidance issued advising that face coverings should be worn in church and also in takeaways (so, for us, the Chimes area). This is mainly intended to protect other people, not the wearer, from COVID-19 and they are not a replacement for physical distancing and regular hand washing. All visitors to the church building will still be asked to sanitise their hands on entry, but should now also cover their faces. The advice from the Church of England is attached for you to read. For obvious reasons, it is not required whilst sitting down to eat or drink – either outside or in – at Chimes.

CARE LINKS
Quite a large number of people very kindly agreed at the beginning of us being confined to our homes, to be Care Link Leaders, telephoning people weekly. Some Leaders had just a few people to phone: others had a dozen or more in their links, so this has been a costly ministry they have been serving in. I know that many of you really appreciated a call each week and will be extremely grateful to the Leaders for how they have given of themselves and their time during recent months. As restrictions ease, we now need to reasses the situation, as for many people the same level of contact is no longer needed. Some Care Link Leaders need to be released from calling as their circumstances have changed. However, we appreciate that this contact may be still really helping some individuals through this storm. We are all in the same storm but in different boats.

When you next hear from your Care Link Person, they may be explaining that they are now stopping calls altogether for now. If you would still like a call, let them know and we will allocate you a new person. Some Leaders may explain that they are willing to still call you. However, they won’t be offended if you say that you no longer require weekly contact. We are still church family and I encourage you to be real and open with one another so that we can best serve and support one another going forward.

NEW WINE UNITED BREAKS OUT THIS WEEK
What a great opportunity we have this week to worship and to receive great teaching along with thousands of other Christians (30th July – 3rd August). We really recommend this to you. There are also amazing activities that will be provided for children and youth groups. All the information you need to access events can be found here:

https://breaksout.new-wine.org

THIS WEEK AT CSK
Tuesday 7:30pm Prayer live on Facebook
Thursday/Friday/Saturday 10am to 2pm – Church open for personal prayer and Chimes open for takeaway service – seating in Snug or outside
Sunday 10am – Sunday Short All Together at 10am

ZOOM COFFEE
As it’s first Sunday, we will be hosting our Zoom after-service coffee – join from 10.40. It is always a huge blessing to see people that we often haven’t seen in months, even if just on the screen. Remember that we split off into small groups of 4-5, so you won’t be faced with a big screen full of people for the whole meeting!

If you would like to join us please email Rev Rachel Hilditch [email protected] and she will send you the invitation.

See you there!

Psalm 139:14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

Every Blessing

20th July Weekly News

July 20, 2020 by Nigel Morris

CHILDREN AND FAMILIES AND YOUTH NEWS
For those of you who have been part of our church family for more than three years you will know that we were able to create the two part-time posts of Children and Families Leader and Youth Leader due to a three year match funding grant from Ely Diocese. As a church we have been very aware of the huge positive impact on ministry that having these two positions has had and feel that the Lord wants us to continue with these posts going forward. We are delighted to share with you that after prayerful consideration, Joy has accepted a year extension to her post (through until August 2021) and Toby has accepted a year extension to his post (through until October 2021). Thank you to all who give financially to CSK which has enabled us to offer these extensions. 

If you have a child aged 0 to 11, you will be receiving an email from Joy later this week. If you have not received an email by Sunday, please can you email Joy on [email protected] to let her know.

If you have a child aged 11 , you will be hearing from Toby this week about new plans for Youth on Sundays. If you haven’t heard from Toby by Sunday, please email him on [email protected] to let him know.

CHIMES
Thank you to all those who are supporting Chimes our church coffee shop both by volunteering and enjoying coffee and cakes. New volunteers are always welcome to help on the door, to encourage social distancing and to help clear tables, or to be a listening ear for customers. Please email Rachel on [email protected] if you could offer an hour or two.

QUIZ NIGHT
Huge thanks to the Garfield family for a great fun quiz on Saturday evening. We will look at organising another quiz during the Autumn.

FUTURE EMAILS
We are planning to change our church email system to Mailchimp, email-sending software from which you can unsubscribe at any time, as with the current system. IKnow will still be used for the app, rotas & all other church management. If you gave us permission to email you on iknow, we would now like to use Mailchimp for this purpose. It gives us the advantage of being able to significantly improve the visual content and layout of church emails. If you have any queries, please do email us.

THIS WEEK
Tuesday – Facebook live prayer at 7:30pm
Thursday – Holy Communion Service at 10am (please arrive with a little time to spare, as you will need to sign in for the service.)
Church open for personal prayer – Thursday, Friday and Saturday 10am to 2pm (from 10:40am Thursday due to Holy Communion).
Sunday Short at 10am; Children and Families with Joy at 10:30am and new plans for Youth to be shared by Toby later this week.

Colossians 1: 9 We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light.

Every Blessing

6th July – Weekly News – Please reply by Noon on Thursday 9th July

July 6, 2020 by Nigel Morris

CHURCH REOPENING
We are trying to serve you, the church family, to the best of our abilities during these challenging times. For the foreseeable future we will continue to record a Sunday Morning Short service and provide on line activities for our children and youth. In addition, we are looking at what we can offer in the way of services in the church. It is important to us that we provide the best opportunities we can for you all to worship our amazing God, whether at home or within the building.

A very small number of people have expressed to us how they would like to be back in the building for a service. There are many regulations both the Government and Church of England have introduced at this time. For example, we would not be allowed to sing, but there would still be opportunity for music to be used within the service. Everyone would be expected to leave the church building directly after the service, so there will not be any opportunity for chatting and socialising with each other before or after a service.

To help us plan for coming weeks, please could you answer the following five questions, sending your replies by Noon on Thursday the 9th July to [email protected] We have a Leadership planning meeting Thursday evening. Many thanks.

1. If we held a mid-week short Morning Service with some spoken responses, reading, prayers and time to reflect, would you be likely to attend? Yes/No

2. If we held a mid-week Daytime Holy Communion said service, would you be likely to attend? Yes/No

3. If we held a mid-week short Evening Service with some spoken responses, reading, prayers and time to reflect, would you be likely to attend? Yes/No

4. If we held the next Taize Service (Sunday evening 19th July) in the building, would you be likely to attend? Yes/No

5. If we held a short Sunday Morning Said Service with reflective music, reading, talk, prayers, would you be likely to attend? Yes/No

In addition, If you would like to share with us what would help you worship during these challenging times, please do so in your replies to the office. 

NEXT QUIZ NIGHT – SAVE THE DATE
Congratulations to the Garfield family who won the last quiz and will be hosting the next quiz night on Zoom on Saturday the 18th July. 

THIS WEEK
Tuesday Facebook Live prayer at 7:30pm
Thursday Traditional Prayer on YouTube available from 7:30pm
Sunday Short at 10am, Childrens and Famillies at 10:30am and Youth on Instalive at 11am

Colossians 3:17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Every Blessing

29th June Weekly Update

June 29, 2020 by Nigel Morris

GOVERNMENT CHANGES
Many of you will have heard that the government has allowed places of worship to reopen for services from Sat 4th July. We have only just received the government information this afternoon and nothing as yet from the diocese, so it will take a little while to process this and to plan accordingly, in order to keep everyone safe.

We know some will be excited at the thought of being back in the building and others will not feel that they are ready. Whatever you feel, you are still part of CSK and we will not rush any changes. We will update everyone when we have a plan for going forward, but for now, online services will continue, as below:

THIS WEEK
7.30pm Tuesday Facebook Live Prayer
7.30pm Thursday traditional evening prayer on YouTube

10am Sunday Short (no separate children’s & families film, but there will be a short craft video), followed by Zoom Coffee from 10.40 for a 10.45 start.
11.30am Youth Insta Live (later time) – with Toby, Esther and new curate Joel
6.30pm Evening Worship on YouTube

ZOOM COFFEE *WITH JOEL, THE NEW CURATE*
Below are the log-in details you will need. We had an excellent session meeting online in small groups last time (Zoom can do this, so don’t be afraid of a big group, we also split into small groups of 4/5). Please do join us to get to meet Joel and his family, at least virtually.

If you wish to join this event and welcome Joel and his family please email [email protected]

BUILDING OPEN FOR PRIVATE PRAYER
The building will be open, as last week, 7-9pm on Wednesday and 10am-12pm on Thursday. This is for drop-in private prayer for individuals or family groups.

2 TIMOTHY 1:9-10
‘He has saved us and called us to a holy life – not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Saviour, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.’ AMEN!

Every blessing

SYLVIA REST/BREAK

HEBREWS 12:1-3
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross,scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

With our love and prayers,
Sylvia & Rachel

PSALM 52:8-9
Even when we feel lost with all the changes, Jesus is our hope and our firm foundation.

‘But I am like an olive tree, flourishing in the house of God; I trust in God’s unfailing love for ever and ever. For what you have done, I will always praise you in the presence of your faithful people. And I will hope in your name, for your name is good.’

With our love and prayers,
Sylvia & Rachel

8th June – Weekly News

June 8, 2020 by Nigel Morris

JOEL, LAURYN, ELIJAH, SARAH, AND LIZZIE WICKS
Thank you to those who have made donations or brought a card or small gift to welcome the Wicks family. A gentle reminder that you have until the end of Sunday the 14th June if you would like to make a contribution to a welcome hamper and gifts, to be dropped off at 105 Eagle Way, Hampton Vale.

ZOOM COFFEE
A few of the feedback messages from people who joined us for our first virtual coffee meeting Sunday morning at 10:45am:

“Really loved meeting afterwards for coffee together. Great idea. I think the small groups worked very well. I loved the chance to speak with people I haven’t seen for ages.”

“As a technophobe, I was a bit dubious about the Zoom session this morning (Sunday), but was happily surprised how easy it was. It was great to be able to have some relatively normal conversations, and to see people again – and courtesy of the zoom screen to put a few more names to faces!

“I really enjoyed the get together this morning it was lovely to see everyone, catch up and meet new people too.”

We will hold another ZOOM coffee meeting in a few weeks time – watch out for the date.

CHURCHES REOPENING
You may have heard the announcement at the weekend made by the Government that places of worship have been given permission to open for prayer from the 15th June. We are awaiting guidelines from Ely Diocese and will let you know how we plan to make our building available for prayer and the dates and times it will be open when we have further information.

THIS WEEK
Tuesday Evening Prayer will be live on Facebook at 7:30pm. This will allow you to take part live in our prayer meeting by typing in prayer requests. Do log on and join us – if you have already ‘liked’ our CSK Hampton Church page you will automatically be alerted when we go live if you’re logged on to Facebook, so just click when that live notice appears on your screen. The meeting will be available to view on Facebook after the live meeting. 
Wednesday: micro-message.
Thursday: traditional evening prayer.
Sunday 10am Sunday Morning Short Service, 10:30am Childrens and Famillies with Joy, 11am Instalive for youth with Toby.

and give you peace.”

4th June – Great News

June 8, 2020 by Nigel Morris

On Sunday during the 10am service you will see a film clip featuring Joel Wicks our new Curate and his family. They will be moving to an Ely Diocese owned house in Cardea on June the 16th as a temporary address until the home they will eventually occupy in Hampton becomes available, hopefully during September. Their first Sunday with us at CSK will be the 12th July. 

As we are not able to organise a bring and share lunch to welcome them, and it is also going to be a very different start to their time with us, we would like to welcome them with some house warming gifts. We are putting together a food parcel with some treats for all the family. If you would like to make a financial donation towards a welcome parcel and gifts, please either transfer a donation to the CSK Bank Account letting Peter our treasurer know the purpose of your transfer ([email protected]) or drop an envelope through the Vicarage door (105 Eagle Way, Hampton Vale, PE7 8EL) or if you would prefer to purchase an item to go in the hamper or an alternative house warming gift or card, again drop those off at the Vicarage. Please could all donations be made by the end of Sunday the 14th June. 

ZOOM QUIZ AND ZOOM COFFEE 
Don’t forget our CSK Quiz 7:45pm for an 8pm start on Saturday and Zoom coffee meeting after the service on Sunday at 10:45am. 

SUNDAY EVENING
There will be a Sunday Evening Soaking Worship service available on our YouTube channel from 6:30pm. 

Every Blessing
Sylvia and Rachel
