The Octagon Parish

The government's restrictions still require the closure of our church buildings to congregations and the general public. This is a matter of law rather than church policy. The House of Bishops has, however, recently updated its guidance to enable clergy to enter churches for limited purposes including the recording of services. This is why we are now able to record services from our churches, but regrettably the buildings are required to remain locked. The Church is alive and well, though, and we continue to pray and worship together from our homes.

I will be continuing with pastoral care via the telephone on 02392 631252.

Technological advances now make it possible to connect with each other and to share in worship via the internet. Each Sunday we will be broadcasting a service from one of the Octagon churches via the Octagon Facebook group and on the Octagon YouTube Channel.  

The Octagon Bulletin will continue to go out at least weekly. Please click HERE if you wish to subscribe to the bulletin.

To protect our distributors and readers, the Octagon magazine will not be distributed in the normal way during the outbreak. Instead,you can read it by clicking HERE. On the same page you will find a copy which you can print for any of your neighbours who do not have access to the internet.
