To all Ministers, GPC, and Congregational Office bearers (whose emails I have).
19th March 2021

Dear Colleagues and Church Members,

As you may know several of the main denominations are reopening their church
doors for the Easter period.

We would encourage those of you, who feel it appropriate to open your church for
Easter to place a strong emphasis on the importance of wearing masks, social
distancing, hand washing and sanitising etc. — mindful of the risk that the rollout
of the vaccination programme could make people complacent about the very real
risks which remain.

We appreciate the sacrifices many of you have made by not holding ‘in person’
services and where possible going on line and communicating with church
members by telephone, mobile, email etc. over the past year.

The BBC are planning to host an interdenominational service for Easter Sunday
which we could all enjoy.

We encourage you especially at Easter, to remember and in your prayers and
reflections, to think about, what many people (including those of all faiths and
none) have been through as a result of Covid-19.

With every good wish,
Yours in the Lord,
Chris and Robert

(Moderator & Clerk of the NSPCI)
