Dear MBC Family,
I will hold the Christlight for you, in the night time of your fear;
I will hold my hand out to you, speak the peace you long to hear.
We are writing to you on the eve of another national lockdown, but this time one that will occur during the darkest months of the year.
The hardship of further isolation weighs heavy on our hearts. We know the hardship, socially, emotionally and physically it can bring to homes, relationships, communities.
In this place, we want to assure you of our commitment to stay connected and to remind you that we are here.
The church continues to offer pastoral care, support and discipleship as we work out how to get through this together.
You are not alone. But perhaps you need someone else to “hold the Christ light for you” so: We will continue to offer a space for private prayer on Mondays and Fridays, book in the usual way, by contacting the church office either by phone or email.
The pastoral team are continuing to provide care through phone calls, and visits by the ministers can be arranged in exceptional circumstances. Please get in touch with us.
Many of our midweek groups are now meeting over Zoom and if you would like to join a group or form one with others for this time please do get in touch.
Graham and Shona will also be available for a virtual cuppa on Mondays and Fridays at 12.30pm. We’d love to ‘see’ you and hear how you’re doing. You can receive a Zoom link for these meetings by emailing the office.
People may also request a phone call with one of the ministers, please get in touch. And we will be sending out a regular update to keep us connected during this time via email/letter.
If you are in difficulty or distress please get in contact with Graham or Shona or contact the office.
Call or leave a message on the church office number: 0113 269 3750 or send an email to admin@moortownbaptistchurch.onmicrosoft.com
And, of course, you can share in our Sunday services on line by going to our website www.moortownbaptistchurch.org.uk and clicking on the links for the services.
With love and blessings to you,
Shona and Graham, Ministers.
