COVID-19 LATEST

CHURCH CLOSURE

Although the current lockdown restrictions issued by the UK Government allows Sunday Services in our church, Blackburn Diocese have brought to our attention an open letter from the Directors of Public Health for Lancashire which strongly advises places of worship to close during the period of the lockdown.

In view of this advice St Peter's Church, and our sister church

at St Anne's Copp, have taken the difficult decision to

suspend Sunday Services during the lockdown.

We will still be holding a 'Zoom' service every Sunday at 11am, details of how to join the service can be found below.

​

The church is still open everyday from 10am to 4pm

for private prayer. Please adhere to Social Distancing and use the Hand Sanitizers on entering and leaving the church

FOOD BANKS

During this trying time St Peter's Church is continuing to support

the Salvation Army Food Bank in Preston. If you would like

to donate any non-perishable foodstuffs please leave them

at the vicarage in Inskip; alternatively contact the vicar on

01772 690157 who will arrange collection.

The Salvation Army are especially in need of toiletries,

toilet rolls, washing powder and hand sanitiser at this time.

​

CARE IN THE CORONAVIRUS CRISIS

In these unprecedented times we are all asked to make sweeping changes in our lives, for our own good and that of others. In the Church of England, we have suspended church services to help to limit the spread of COVID-19. We won't meet on Sundays and the latest advice from the Church of England is that church buildings should also be shut to the public for private prayer.

​

 In our day-to-day lives can I encourage you to follow the advice given by the Government by: washing hands thoroughly and regularly, by catching anything you sneeze in a tissue and throwing the tissue in the bin, and, for the sake of all in our community, self-isolating if you or someone in your household, have a fever or new persistent cough, or are in a category of more vulnerable people (in particular if your immune system reduced, or you are over 70, or pregnant).

​

HELP!

Self-isolating can be hard, but in Inskip we are a caring community and help is at hand. If you would like any help, practical, emotional or spiritual, or if you would just like to chat, please do contact me on:

01772690157 or

​

With our prayers and best wishes,

Rev Paul Hunter and all at St Peter's church
