Worship at Home
​
At a time when it is not possible for people to worship together, we would like to give you the opportunity to worship with us at home.
​
We are planning to post daily readings and prayers (and other useful information) on our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/tworiversbenefice
Please "Like" our Facebook page so we can serve you in this way
We will also post them on YouTube, on the following channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqFmyAgwJMc-KSU0t4WhdWA
Alongside these resources, we have put together two simple acts of worship, particularly geared to those who are isolated or housebound, or who are unable to access our online Church resources. These booklets are available for you to take in any of our churches, or you can download an electronic copy at the following link:

If you need help, spiritual or practical, or would just like to speak to someone, please contact us in the following ways:
Email: or telephone 07311 824822 and leave a message. We will get back to you as soon as we can. Send a Text message to 07311 824822 and we will respond as soon as we can.
If you have a prayer request, email or telephone Jill Smith on 01440 785759

Here is another opportunity for you to worship at home. I have put together a playlist for a sung version of Night Prayer. If you would like to end your day with God, please just click the link and enjoy 23 minutes of worship.
Blessings, Jonathan.
