As our Sunday worship continues, we would gently encourage all who are joining us to continue with the wearing of face coverings.
For those who are still feeling cautious, there will be space for social distancing, and hand sanitizer will remain available.
We pray for God’s presence with us – and for NHS and health service decision makers to have as much wisdom as possible,
and for everyone who is affected and put under strain by this new phase to find strength and peace...
We will of course continue to keep all this under review, as further government announcements are made, and will adapt accordingly.
Our livestreamed and recorded Sunday worship will continue and can be accessed by clicking the buttons

The following link will take you to the recording of today's 10am Morning Worship on YouTube.

Jigsaws to your doorAre you feeling bored or anxious? Have you still got that ‘shut in’ feeling?
In these stressful days, jigsaws are remaining popular as a way of passing the time or taking your mind off what is going on at the moment.
Several people have commented on how much this simple pastime has helped them.
We are offering a free delivery / collection service from our Jigsaw Library to those in the PL5 area.
For more information contact Lyn and Ted on 01752 706728 or email jigsaws (jigsaws@st-budeaux-church.co.uk)

Sunday Worship times. We will continue with one morning service at 10am in February. This is also live-streamed on Facebook.
DO pray and join us and see what God is doing by His Spirit. This is time to rebuild!
In February also there will be a reflective Sunday evening service from 7- 8pm – making use of calm candlelight in the dark evenings and creating a gentle space to meet with God, each other and to reflect.
We will continue reviewing what we do in line with the government's future announcements and other guidance from Exeter Diocese.
As new things are starting up and other things are restarting, and as we need to find volunteers for a number of key roles really urgently, it is always important to start with prayer.
We have prayer meetings on Zoom on Wed and Sat at 9am. If you would like to join in face to face, then let us know and we can host one or both in church.

We really do need the Spirit of God to lead and guide us as we negotiate the coming days and months.
From 2nd March (on Ash Wednesday) at 11am there will be a short service of Holy Communion and also on the following Wednesdays until Easter.
This will be deliberately short (around 45 minutes). Everyone is welcome, but we hope a short service will be helpful to anyone who finds a longer service too much to cope with at the moment.
