Based on Ezekiel's vision of the valley of the dry bones, a call to lament and hope for a different future
Written 20 March 2020
A reflection to start Lent in light on COVID-19
At this time of crisis we want to maintain our six values
directed by Jesus
attentive to need
offering what we have
enabling all age participation
thankful
developing a culture of try.
We will do this by working and praying for the welbeing of whole parish, especially the welfare of the elderly with our partners Regenerate-Rise. We will seek to enable corporate worship and prayer to thrive through methods that keep us physically distanced. The aim of this is to see us grow in faith, hope and love, to the fulfilment of ourselves, the blessing of the wider community and the glory of God.
This website invites you to join in - through volunteering, giving money or food, and joining in with acts of prayer and worship.
Our church building is closed to help stop the spread of COVID-19 but you can still bring supplies for elderly people. Please leave the items in our south entrance, inside the metal gate, at 9-12noon Monday, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. Details of what we need is here https://stmichaels-battersea.churchdesk.com/page/45/supply-box-list-older-people

When we ring the church bell it is an invitation to join in wherever we are, to pray for our community, our health workers, the sick and all who are afraid.
