Dear Friends,
I hope this finds you well and making the most of the sunshine.
As we journey through Holy Week here are some resources that may be of
interest.
Oadby Baptist Church are holding a Communion Service on Maundy Thursday and
you can follow a link on this page https://oadbybaptist.church/holy-week/
to watch it live at 7pm.
Also on the page is a link to the Churches Together in Oadby Good Friday
service which you can watch live at 10am. This was due to be held at St Peter’s
and I will now be leading it from my home.
Tom from OBC writes, ‘I have created a new page on our
website dedicated to the Good Friday Service live stream which can be shared
amongst your church communities and beyond in emails and on social media
etc.
The live stream is not viewable on our website itself -
there is a big button on the page that people will have to click. If they’re on
a PC (desktop or laptop) then they can watch via the web. If they are on a
smartphone or tablet, we recommend downloading the Teams App first.
I have provided a further link on this new web page for
Good Friday that links to our own live streaming page, as there are instructions
on there for how to watch the live stream if anyone is having difficulties doing
so. It’s always worth mentioning to people that they should aim to join the live
stream 10-15 minutes prior to the broadcast so they have enough time to make
sure it’s working.
The live stream button on the Good Friday page will not
work yet as we have not created a broadcast, but you can get the above link out
there so people know where to go on Friday morning.’
Trinity Methodist Church are also hosting a virtual service on Maundy
Thursday via Zoom and I will send you the details when I have them.
Lastly, I want to draw your attention to Spring Harvest Home. Having had to
cancel this years events the Spring Harvest team are busy working on a range of
materials that will be available for free on line so we can all join in with all
things Spring Harvest from our homes. It will run in the post Easter week 13-17
April. This is their You Tube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/SpringHarvest
where there is a short promo video and you can subscribe so you don’t miss out.
I would really encourage you to make the most of this!
I will be in touch with more information later in the week.
Every blessing
Steve
