Church of the Annunciation, Marble Arch, London
In light of the latest Government advice, the Bishop of London has asked all churches to close. It is with great regret that we are therefore unable to open for worship or private prayer on a Sunday until further notice.

Friday 3rd April 2020Weekly Email
Sunday (5 April)
… is Palm Sunday and the start of Holy Week. As we enter yet another week of death, illness and suffering around the world, with no end yet in sight, many could be forgiven for asking, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?”. These are the words of Christ himself from the cross, as we read in Sunday’s Gospel. Jesus the man was in despair. But Jesus the Son of God knew that His father would resurrect him. We as humans are prone to doubting and fear, yet as people of God, we know that Good Friday is not the end of the story, and we look forward to the certain joy of Easter Sunday. There may be times when God feels far away from us in this current crisis, but trust that He has a plan and that He hasn’t and will not abandon us.
Worship
Like me, many of you might otherwise have been travelling this week, to visit family or to take an Easter break. Since we will all instead have enforced time at home, why not make Holy Week truly ‘holy’ and spend the time meditating on readings and music? The readings for services including for Maundy Thursday and Good Friday remain on our website, as do the hymns we would have sung had we been in church. The choir has also kindly made recordings available to help with our worship and prayer at home which can be found on our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheAnnunciation/
All Saints Margaret St has a virtual mass daily at noon live-streamed on YouTube and available for later viewing on their website. There is also a brief homily during Sunday mass https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCz5geWECwF4qOnv2IGFd7vQ https://www.allsaintsmargaretstreet.org.uk
Sunday School
Ramond has set up a website for our 8+ group which will be updated weekly. There is also a mailing list that you can sign up to https://annunciationyouth.wixsite.com/annunication
Thank you for all your positive feedback on our virtual Sunday School for the younger children! We will post a new video for this Sunday on our Facebook page at 10.30am and it will remain online for viewing any time after that. Do spread the word! https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheAnnunciation/
The diocesan website has tips on how to worship with children at home during this time https://www.london.anglican.org/articles/children-at-home-good-stories-with-good-questions/
Prayers
Living with Cancer: Anna, Melissa, Winston, Norman, Chrisanthy, Brian
Other medical issues: Michael, Helena (and Katherine & Anna, her carers)
Older Age: Robert & Nita, Goli, Eleni, Jeff, Albertina, Jaqueline, Mary, Daphne
If you know anyone you would like added to the prayer list, please let me know.
Hope you all keep safe and well.
Blessings,
Jasmine
