Sunday Club
Sunday Club Scattered will appear on the Belvoir Parish YouTube channel on Sundays (you can access it through the website and Facebook too).Or you can also view it our Belvoir Kids page www.belvoirparish.co.uk/kids
Every two weeks, kids will be able to join us for Sunday Club whenever it suits your family – videos will go live early on Sunday morning; there are activity sheets and support material to go along with each topic, and these are available to download it during Scattered Together or here.
If you have any questions, are having trouble accessing the material, or would like to help out in any way with our Children’s work, you can contact catherine@belvoirparish.co.uk.
Keeping in Touch
We are trying to make sure everyone is contacted on a regular basis through emails, letters, phone calls, WhatsApp groups, huddling on zoom. And that everyone has an opportunity to get involved.
This short form is the same as the one you received through the post that allows you to give us your contact details, get connected in different ways and lists opportunities to get involved. (If you didn’t receive anything in the post then we might not have your correct details).
We look forward to hearing from you.

A NOTE FROM THE BISHOPS 25/2/21
“Following the Northern Ireland Executive’s decision to extend the current Covid-19 restrictions to Thursday 1st April 2021, representatives of the Churches met earlier this week with Ministers from the Executive Office, the Minister of Health and the Chief Medical Officer. At that meeting the Chief Medical Officer stressed that it would make a significant difference and be of huge benefit to public health and safety, if churches were willing to continue, for the time being, not to gather in-person for services and other meetings.
In the light of the Executive’s extension of the current restrictions, and on the basis of the continued and unequivocal public health message that people should continue to stay at home, we have agreed that all in-person Sunday gatherings for worship, along with all other in-person church gatherings, should remain voluntarily suspended for the time being in all Church of Ireland parishes in Northern Ireland until Thursday 1st April 2021 – with the exception of weddings, funerals, arrangements for recording and/or live-streaming, drive- in services and private prayer (as permitted by regulations).”

Church Open for Prayer
Upcoming Dates: 18 Nov
Time: 7-8pm
A time to pray for people at work, business, jobs…that whole array of needs that are among us and out there.
Drop in any time, leave any time.
There will be quietness, some music, some times of spoken prayer.
Prayer Garden
Everyone is welcome to use our Prayer Garden just beside the church carpark under the big trees.
Amazing mosaic stepping stones created by Sandi Thompson lead the way through the Prayer Garden. Each one inviting a pause for prayerful contemplation.
Meanwhile the acorns were ripening, and a small flock of tiny birds were calling from the tops of the tall oaks: goldcrests, long-tailed-tits, coal tits? Impossible to see!
