UK Day of Prayer

Friday 13th November has been designated a UK day of Prayer. We are asked to weave listening and sharing into the daily routine of life.

Gill spoke a lot on this in her Morning Prayer video, which can be re-watched below.

The suggested schedule Gill talks about can be read on the Evangelical Alliance website here :-

Café Siena to go

Caring for our community.

Do you know of someone living on their own or who is shielding, and might like a freshly cooked meal delivered to their door Friday lunchtime?

The meal this week is cottage pie with peas and carrots, and a slice of bread pudding. Cost £5.00. We aim to deliver the food hot, but it may require 30 seconds in the microwave. Deliver time expected to be 12.15-12.45.

Needless to say, Covid prevention measures put in place in order for this service to be as safe as possible. Orders ideally need to be placed by Wednesday evening. Contact us on info@stcatherines-tilehurst.org.uk

Café Siena – closed for lockdown

With the latest national lockdown announced on 31st October, we regret that Café Siena will not be able to open until further notice.

Memorial Service – Sunday 8th November 2020

— Coronavirus Lockdown Update —

We regret that in light of the latest national lockdown, the Memorial Service, originally offered below, can no longer take place.

We are offering to those whose funerals we have taken this year, the opportunity to remember and give thanks for the life of those they have lost.

Unfortunately, numbers are restricted, so we are limiting attendance to 3 per family. Families have already been contacted and there is a deadline of 4^th November for them to RSVP.

After 4^th November we shall open the service to everyone, if there are spaces. Bookings will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. Email us if you are interested.

Those attending are invited to bring a stone to place at the foot of the old Oak Tree, to lay in honour of their loved one at the end of the service.
