St Andrew's is 50 - well nearly

Many thanks to all who donated to our appeal - you have raised a magnificent £2,800. This has enabled us to give funds to the PCC to complete the first part of our work - you will find new fittings in the kitchens, the entrance and corridors - and have some of the funds ready for the Main Hall and the Upper Room. All part of Eco-Church - saving energy and our running costs.

More good news - last week Wychavon granted Listed Building Consent for the remaining works !

Please bring your donations to St Andrew’s in Church Walk on Tuesday or Friday or contact the Foodbank directly via their website https://pershore.foodbank.org.uk/ Please, please could you kindly ensure donations are well in date (Mince Pies seem to have a short shelf life)

Good morning everyone. It will probably come as l Good morning everyone. It will probably come as little surprise to you all after yesterday’s Government announcement regarding the new #covid_19 #lockdown that sadly we have to cancel the small service of #remembrance inside #pershoreabbey that was due to be held next Sunday 8th November 2020. However due to our foresight here at the Abbey, we are able to bring you a full 30 minute online service instead on our #pershoreabbeycommunity #youtube channel which will premiere at 10.30 am 😊. We urge you all to follow the guidelines and observe #remembrancesunday in the safety of your own homes this year. We are still encouraging you all to take part in our #pershorepoppytrail by displaying poppies in your window so that when people take their daily exercise, they will be able to see them and Remember the sacrifices so many have made. You can also donate to the @royalbritishlegion online for their #poppyappeal2020 Our YouTube video can be found at https://youtu.be/KVc6Iakdqu0 and you can set a reminder. On Wednesday 11th November at 10.30 am, join us again on #youtube as we premiere our #pershoreschoolsarmisticeservice which is a slideshow and archive footage video telling the key points of the 2 World Wars and why we hold these acts of Remembrance. The link to that video is https://youtu.be/CvH2kuk5HSs Let us not feel defeated by these new restrictions and instead be creative in finding new, safe ways to carry on our traditions. Nothing is forever and even in the direst situations, great skills can be found. Let us give thanks for the Internet and the social media platforms that enable us to stay in touch spiritually at a time when human contact has to be limited. ❤️
During #lockdown2020 we struggled to find somethin During #lockdown2020 we struggled to find something in real life to photograph for the #holyspirit So thanks to @fortnums #christmasdecor we now have a happy Digital Media Volunteer all ready for next year 😁❤️🕊 #willowtree #nativityscene #fortnumschristmas
Due to #covid_19 and stringent #socialdistancing m Due to #covid_19 and stringent #socialdistancing measures currently in place, regretfully we cannot host the full #remembrancesunday service in the Abbey this year as we usually have around 400 people attend. Therefore we bring to our community an online service which we hope that you will take part in from the safety of your own homes. A very small service is taking place in the Abbey this morning which is by invitation only. We are recording this and will broadcast it at 3pm on YouTube. We hope that you will understand that in this pandemic crisis we are currently living through, the safety of our community is of utmost importance to us. We urge you to follow the Government guidance and the call from the Royal British Legion to stay safe this Remembrance period.

How beautiful do our Abbey gates look as we enter How beautiful do our Abbey gates look as we enter into the #poppyappeal and #remembrance Special thanks to Maggie and team for another stunning display ❤️ You can do your bit to help us create a #pershorepoppytrail Please place poppies in your window and send us a photograph. In a year when we cannot gather together as usual to pay our respects, a walk around town to see poppy displays would bring many great comfort. Visit https://www.britishlegion.org.uk/get-involved/remembrance/teaching-remembrance for creative ideas You can also donate online to the Poppy Appeal or alternatively there are collecting tins out in shops.
With just over a week to go until our virtual #all With just over a week to go until our virtual #allsouls service, we bring you the service sheet which you may like to print or save to your devices. The service will premiere on our YouTube channel at 5pm on Sunday 1st November 🕯🙏🏻
One of our most poignant annual community events i One of our most poignant annual community events is our #allsoulsservice where we gather together here inside #pershoreabbey to remember those we have recently lost. Unfortunately due to the #covid_19 #socialdistancing restrictions, we are unable to hold this service inside the Abbey with you all this year. Therefore we want to reassure everyone that a service will be available online on Sunday 1st November at 5pm for you to follow on your devices safely at home. However, our Ministry team are still hoping to be able to light candles inside our ancient Abbey church on 1st November which will be done in quiet reflection. We would like to invite you to light a candle at home at 5pm on 1st November in memory of your loved ones so that we can still join together in spirit 🙏🏻🕯
On Monday, it was the Pershore Ringers Annual Gene On Monday, it was the Pershore Ringers Annual General Meeting and the lovely John Alexander sent us a couple of his poems to mark his 50th Bells AGM! We have great pleasure in sharing them with you here today. This year more than ever, we have been grateful to John and our team of ringers. Wasn’t it amazing after weeks of lockdown silence when we heard the bells ring out once more across our beautiful town? Something that we simply took for granted in the past but this pandemic has been a lesson in appreciation for the everyday things that make up our normal lives. Between the team, they have clocked up quite a few years at the Abbey and we would like to take this opportunity to thank them all for their dedicated service 🙏🏻👏🏻 🔔
Good morning everyone and Happy #harvest2020 We Good morning everyone and Happy #harvest2020 We give thanks for our #pershoreabbey #harvestloaf and are especially grateful to #lawrencesbakery here in #pershore who very kindly agreed to make it once again. This magnificent Harvest Festival loaf is usually on display on the altar and symbolises the bread loaves farmers made from the new wheat crop gathered in their fields, which were then given to the local churches. The bread was traditionally used as the bread during communion to thank God for the harvest. This year it will be on display in the nave, after the Harvest Eucharist, to allow people to view it more easily amidst our Covid-19 restrictions At a time when we celebrate and give thanks, the gift of our Harvest Loaf is especially meaningful 🌾 🍞

Pray for the work of foodbanks across the diocese, giving thanks for the many volunteers who give their time and praying for all who have to resort to using foodbanks to make ends meet.

Pray for a restructuring of our economy so that foodbanks may no longer be necessary.
