Fr David, our SVP and Parish Council are anxious to offer all at St Etheldreda support and advice wherever possible. At this worrying time, when we are in an emergency situation, many of our more vulnerable parishioners may need practical help or perhaps just someone to talk to.
Should any St Etheldreda parishioner require support and help from the SVP they are urged to ring our special helpline number: 07763 800565.
As always Father David is available at priest@elyrcchurch.com or on the parish number 01353 662759.
The NHS website has information and advice if you are worried or want to find out more. Most importantly, to cut down the risk of passing on infection, they advise regular and stringent washing of our hands, fingers and wrists with soap and water and drying them thoroughly. They also advise ‘social distancing’ which is staying a metre away from all we meet. Those most at risk of being seriously affected by Covid-19 are older people and those with pre-existing health problems.
More information about the virus and how to protect yourself can be found on the BBC website.
Some practical and spiritual advice is available from YouTube also.
Fr David urges us all to support and pray for one another at this difficult time. God bless all of us and keep us and our loved ones safe.
