Normally some of us would be off to the New Wine United Conference at about this time of year. Sadly this year both national gatherings have been cancelled. Instead, the conference is going online under the heading of United Breaks Out. Watch the video to find out a bit more about how we are getting involved here in Mountsorrel:

United Breaks Out will run from the evening of Thursday 30th July through to Midday on Monday 3rd August. A full programme of events can be found here

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) of Christ Church and the PCC of St Peter’s Church both met this week on Friday 3rd July 2020 to consider the feasability of re-opening for public worship under the government’s guidlines which come into force on 4th July. After careful consideration, it was the view of both PCCs that, for the time being, we would not be able to open for public worship in a way that can safely accommodate all those who would like to attend. Therefore, both Church buildings will be remaining closed for both public worship and private prayer throughout the whole of July and August. The PCCs will be meeting again in August to give further consideration to the matter with a view to re-opening in September.

During the continued closure we will, of course, be continuing with our daily online services of Sunday Worship and Morning Prayer. Information on accessing these services can be found on the events & services page of our website. https://mountsorrelchurch.org/events/

We would like to thank the congregation and the community for their continue support of the church in these difficult and unprecedented times. As you can imagine, this has had an impact on our financial situation too and we would like to thank all those who have been able to contribute to the ongoing mission and ministry of the Church during the Covid pandemic.
