Welcome
St Peter and St Paul’s Church is a Christian community worshipping in the heart of the village of Blockley
in the beautiful North Cotswolds
We serve the people of Blockley and its surrounding villages and hamlets of Aston Magna, Dorn, Draycott,
Northwick Park and Paxford.
As a church, we are love to celebrate, we are inclusive, and our social and environmental responsibilities are important to us.
All are welcome to join us in exploring how we can live life in all its fullness.

Services in Bourton and Blockley church buildings.
This week I will be leading the Sunday service on Zoom, and we will meet with others from the Vale and Cotswold Edge Team (VaCE) who would prefer to meet digitally. We have made a decision that there will be a digital service every week at 9:30am on Zoom, as well as physical services across the VaCE. Go to the Vale and Cotswold Edge Team website at http://vace.church for more details.
You can find the weekly Zoom service at 9.30am at
this link If you use the telephone to connect, the phone number is 0131 460 1196 or 0203 051 2874
You will need the Meeting ID: 810
0895 7235 and (additionally this time) a passcode which is 100254.
The services last week in the church and in the churchyard were a great joy, and my thanks to all who made it possible to meet safely. For those considering going to a physical service this weekend rather than the service led by me on Zoom, please arrive early, with a mask. When you arrive please use the hand sanitiser and give the welcomer your name for test and trace. Our next physical service in Blockley will be Second Sunday at 6pm.

Daily
Prayer
I say my prayers at 9am, using the Church of England’s Daily Prayer, which you
can find as a free app simply called Daily Prayer. You can also join on the C
of E website at https://www.churchofengland.org/prayer-and-worship/join-us-service-daily-prayer
I would also recommend phone and tablet apps for daily prayer like Examen and Lectio365. And by
phone you can access Daily Hope on 0800 804 8044
I will probably not send a letter to you next week and may see some of you in church. For those who prefer to join by Zoom there will continue to be a service at 9.30am using the same details as above. Do be in touch with me if you would like to be, for a chat to a concern.
With my love, Dana
