RIDE AND Stride
Thanks to all those participating in either riding, striding or sponsoring. Richard and Angela Miller took their tandem from Goadby Marwood and Scalford down to the Vale at Harby, along to Stathern before coming back up to Eastwell, Eaton, Branston, Knipton, Saltby, Sproxton, Stonesby and back home to Waltham. They raised at least £578. Paul Taylor exceeded his target of £500, staying with the benefice churches. Colette Stein was also on the Benefice circuit following Paul but stopping to pick hedgerow goodies, which she turned into Rob of Elderberry and Hedgerow jam, both very healthy foods. Meanwhile Penny and Miranda walked from home to Goadby Marwood and on to Eaton, a goodly trek. Of the funds raised, half will be going to Leicestershire Historic Churches Trust. We had more visitors to our churches this year, Felix Ng even cycled over from Loughborough!

Public Worship in Ironstone Church Buildings
We are holding socially distanced services but singing is not yet possible. Accompanied hymns will be played and face masks are still needed to be worn.
Several Ironstone church buildings remain open for private prayer, and details of opening times are available on the website, and also in the yellow pages. It is important that anyone visiting a church for private prayer takes responsibility for hand sanitising etc. before and after their visit to that building.
