Through this last Lockdown the chapel at Beer has continued to hold services according to government advice. We have held 15 minute long services consisting of prayers, readings, meditation, short talks and hymns and anthems played on a C.D. player. Nigel and Annette have led them on alternate weeks. The congregations have been very good in number and very appreciative. Gradually the services have increased in length and things are now almost back to normal!
We had a lovely Mothering Sunday service giving out bunches of flowers and chocolates. On Palm Sunday we gave out palm crosses and our Maundy Thursday service, which Nigel led, it was very moving and marked our Holy Week. We were able to use the organ at that service with Sylvia playing and with our mini-choir singing. Easter Day was wonderful. The church looked magnificent, festooned with spring flowers. The Easter cross on which the names of our church members were nailed was carried in by Tina, and Clara carried in our Resurrection Banner. Bernard played the organ and again our mini-choir were able to sing the Easter hymns. At the end of the service the congregation received Easter eggs,hot cross buns and sunflower seeds in little pots. We are looking forward to the time when all of the congregation can sing the hymns.
