It is \n the way forward and we must keep up with the times BUT please do not fear that all \n of this will replace what has gone before. It will not replace it but will enhance it. I \n cannot wait until we are able to meet once again in person to worship and that time \n will come, I can assure you, so just hold in there. A number of you have told me \n that you have either had your vaccination or have been called to book your \n appointment. That is absolutely brilliant news. Those of you who haven’t heard yet I \n am sure will be hearing very shortly as the vaccines are rolled out.","bbox":{"left":0.121176,"top":0.085504,"width":0.755002,"height":0.137748}},{"text":"Some of you, the more tech savvy, may wonder how I might be able to live stream \n worship from church when we have no internet connection there. Well from today, \n with a little help from our friends, we do! Mr Hulme, the new headteacher at our \n church primary school, has been speaking with his IT consultant as to the best way \n forward to having internet connection at church and has given us a devise called a \n ‘dongle’ which enables this – absolutely brilliant – and it works! Why hadn’t I \n thought of this before? Because I’m not tech savvy! Thank you Mr Hulme. Please \n don’t expect anything to happen overnight, it is a work in progress, but St. Edmund’s \n is slowly coming into the 21st century. But I promise you it will not forget all that is \n good about it’s past. The two will work side by side in proclaiming the Gospel.","bbox":{"left":0.121176,"top":0.234791,"width":0.7571760000000001,"height":0.17218999999999998}},{"text":"Worship \n As I said in last weeks newsletter I will record a short service each week \n which will be on our website www.st-edmunds.co.uk ready to be viewed \n from 6am on Sunday morning. It will remain on the site for a week. The Or- \n der of Service to go with it will also be on the website. \n Next Sunday is Candlemas and I hope to record a Eucharist service to celebrate \n the end of the Christmas and Epiphany season. Although the church is closed \n we are allowed to record a service with two or three in attendance. If you would \n like to read or lead the intercessions for this service and are happy to come into \n church to do this please let me know. \n Thank you to those who expressed an interest in joining a live ZOOM act of \n worship on a Sunday Morning. It is now in the planning stages and I am ex- \n ceedingly hopeful that this will happen. There will be more information to follow. \n Rochester cathedral, (which is closed for worship) is live streaming worship \n twice a week, a Sunday Eucharist at 11am and Choral Evensong at 5.30pm on a \n Thursday. www.rochestercathedral.org On the top left hand side of the Home \n page there is a box ‘Online service’, click here. \n The Church of England also hold online services on a Sunday and throughout \n the week www.churchofengland.org \n If you are without internet remember that you can watch Songs of Praise on \n BBC1 at 1.15pm each Sunday.","bbox":{"left":0.121176,"top":0.42434,"width":0.7590810000000001,"height":0.397249}},{"text":"Morning Prayer Readings","bbox":{"left":0.121176,"top":0.897024,"width":0.23384099999999997,"height":0.015769000000000033}}],"images_bbox":[],"images_bbox_not_text_overlap":[]}
