SCHOOLS CHRISTIAN WORKER PROJECT Prayer Breakfast

Dear Christian friends,

We are grateful to the Minister, Rev. Julia Skitt, Stewards and members of

Oswestry Methodist Church, 1, Chapel Street, Oswestry, SY11 1LF, 

for the opportunity to meet again for prayer on 

Saturday, December 5th, 2020

for the work of Jane Webber in our local schools and colleges.

.The doors of the main church building will be open from 8.45 a.m. and the meeting is scheduled to run from 9.00 a.m. to 10.00 a.m. In order to comply with the strict rules which apply during the Covid-19 pandemic, there will be no breakfast and no singing, shaking hands or hugging your neighbour.  But, as well as socially-distanced seating, there will be a very warm welcome.   

Please enter through the main door, wear a face covering (masks available for those who have forgotten them) and have your temperature taken if you are exempt or struggle with a mask. Hand sanitiser will be available on entering and exiting. If you can’t manage the steps, you’ll be let in at the green side door.

We shall exit via the green side door.

Should you require further information, please email or phone me, Alan Braddock, on 01691 654991. 

Thank you for your continuing interest and prayers. May God bless you.
