LITTLE MALVERN PRIORY

Following the latest Church of England guidance, we will be re-introducing administration of the chalice at Holy Communion services from today. Many churches have already started offering the wine at services. Nobody will be expected to receive the consecrated wine if they choose not to do so, and it will be quite in order to return to your seat after you have received the wafer. Intinction (dipping the consecrated bread in the wine) is very strongly discouraged, as there is a risk of cross-contamination through hands and fingers touching the wine.

The LMP notice board in the churchyard has been taken down in preparation for the arrival of a new one, on order and expected very soon. The decayed wood on the old board meant that it couldn’t be repaired, but the lovely image of St. Giles and the hart will be restored and exhibited in the church in due course.

Advance notice: Harvest Thanksgiving at Little Malvern Priory this year will be on Sunday 9^th October, with the 11.00 service followed by lunch at Little Malvern Court, by kind permission of Mrs Alex Berington.
