you frightened, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? Look at my ands and my feet; see that it is I
myself. Touch me and see; for a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.’ And when he had
said this, While in their joy they were disbelieving and still wondering, he said to them, ‘Have you anything here to eat?’ They gave him a piece of broiled fish, and he took it and ate in their presence. Then he said to them, ‘These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you—that everything written about me in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms must be fulfilled.’ Then he opened their minds to
understand the scriptures, and he said to them, This is the Gospel of the Lord. New to the Bible? Want a refresher? The Bible Course - explore the big story Using a unique storyline, the course

With due consideration to national guidance from the government and the Church of England in the meantime, I'm pleased to say that we are going ahead with services in-person in church. We must, of course, leave the decision whether or not to attend to you and your judgment. While it is generally good to be with other people, we realise that this is not comfortable or sensible for everyone at present, and we continue to pray for and ask God's blessing on all in our parishes, not just those we see in person. Two important considerations: Firstly, in common with all public indoor spaces, we ask that you do not attend an event if you are feeling unwell or experiencing any of the recognised symptoms of COVID.
As the virus spreads successfully between people without symptoms, please also consider taking a lateral flow test before attending a service, especially if you have been in contact with people beyond your household in recent
days.
We will continue to ensure good ventilation in our churches, so please come prepared for draughts. Three Rivers Group Car Scheme A reminder that the Three Rivers Group Car Scheme exists to provide lifts to medical and other appointments when other transport is not available. Some drivers are also offering their services for free to Ukrainians being hosted by families locally.
