A prayer in lockdown....from Ely Cathedral

The doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked (John 20.19)

Ever Present God,

be with us in our isolation,

be close to us in our distancing,

be healing in our sickness,

be joy in our sadness,

be light in our darkness,

be wisdom in our confusion,

be all that is familiar when all is unfamiliar,

that when the doors reopen

we may with the zeal of Pentecost

inhabit our communities

and speak of your goodness

to an emerging world.

For jesus' sake

Amen.

Take a walk with the Vicar around Great Paxton Churchyard.  Recorded yesterday before the lockdown measures.  Annette was hoping to record a Sunday service for Great Paxton in the church but unfortunately the church now has to stay locked up.  She will be setting up a recording kit in the Vicarage instead!

See the link below for the walk:

Great Paxton Community Shop will remain open for four hours per day:

8am to 10am and 3pm to 5pm daily (Sun 8-10am).  This will limit the number of people serving.

We ask that only one customer at a time enters the shop.  Please stand off the ramp is a customer is already in the shop and wait for them to leave.  If there are any customers already waiting - please stand 2 metres apart.  We ask you to wash your hands before you enter the shop.

We are still accepting telephone orders (218624) between 9am and 12 Noon for those who cannot get to the shop - but bear with us.  We will do all we can to fulfil your orders and have them ready for collection or delivery during the 3-5pm shift.

We are doing all we can to be there for you - Please support us if you can.
