NOTICES - MAY 31st

DAY OF PENTECOST - WHIT SUNDAY

Giving, a reminder

We wish to remind you that the Chapalincy continues to have running and maintenance costs during the interregnum, in spite of our churches being closed for services at the moment. At present, our monthly income from various sources is significantly lower than usual. We would like to encourage those who normally give by envelope or by other means to please consider making a contribution by bank transfer. Thank you.

Notice from the Acting Chair of the Lisbon Chaplaincy Council

Sunday Services
As many of you will be aware, Roman Catholic churches in Portugal are resuming services as of 31st May. For many reasons our reality is radically different. In particular, we have no permanent Chaplain and, with continued travel restrictions, we are unable to bring out a locum Chaplain for the time being. There is the additional difficulty that there are stringent regulations both locally and in the Church of England with regard to hygiene and social distancing that we are not currently in a position to put in place.

For the time being, therefore, Rev. Ian Eglin will continue to transmit a Sunday morning service each week at 9h30, assisted by Caroline, his wife. We are extremely grateful to them both.

We will continue to monitor the situation carefully both locally and within the Archdeaconry. The Church Council will assess the possibilities, regulations and risks once again in mid-June.

Appointment of a Chaplain
The procedure for appointing a Chaplain is always long and slow, and even in normal times would take at least a year. The critical point is always when the advertisement announcing the vacancy is first published. It is appearing for the first time as of today (Friday 29th May) in The Church Times and the current vacancies page of the Diocesan Website. The respective links are:

If you know of anyone who would be interested in applying, please inform them.

Come, Holy Spirit, come

Come, Holy Spirit, come
Into our hearts and lives,
Let us feel your freshness,
Let us see your power,
and feel your presence.

Come, Holy Spirit, come
as you came to the disciples
at that time of Pentecost.
In power and might,
totally revealing yourself.
