During 2020, St James’ (Slaithwaite) and St Bartholomew’s (Marsden), began a Home Church community which meet using a dial-in telephone line accessible from any ordinary home phone, as well as through smartphones, tablets and computers using the internet. Everyone is welcome to join us, but for cyber-security reasons you need to request the meeting details. These can be obtained from the Vicar in advance.
Home Church uses a form of liturgy which is simple and reflects the dispersed nature of our community. We gather together in Christ’s name, but remain physically separate so our worship is beginning to reflect that more closely. Jesus said, “For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.” (Matt 18:20)… when we gather by smartphone, tablet, computer, or by regular home telephone, we truly are Church
In order to help with the setting at home, find somewhere unlikely to experience interruptions for the next 30 minutes. Light a candle, or a set a small lamp on a stand, something that brings to mind the idea of light shining in the world. You may want to get a small piece of bread for later in the service.
