POEM
The Pulley by George Herbert
When God at first made man,
Having a glasse of blessings standing by;
Let us (said he) poure on him all we can:
Let the world's riches, which dispersed lie,
Contract into a span.
So strength first made a way;
Then beautie flow'd, then wisdome, honour, pleasure;
When almost all was out, God made a stay,
Perceiving that alone, of all his treasure,
Rest in the bottome lay.
For if I should (said he)
Bestow this jewell also on my creature,
He would adore my gifts in stead of me,
And rest in Nature, not the God of Nature:
So both should losers be.
Yet let him keep the rest,
May tosse him to my breast.
But keep them with repining restlesnesse;
Let him be rich and wearie, that at least,
If goodnesse leade him not, yet wearinesse
.

Current guidance for attending church:
-
We are now exempt from wearing masks in Church
-
However if you wish to wear a mask for some, or all of the service, you are welcome to do so.
-
The area at the back is for those who feel safe, and more comfortable, if they can maintain social distance.
-
The pews are for people who do not feel the need to socially distance.
-
Our Wednesday services will remain socially distanced.
-
The church is now open during daylight hours. It will not open on Sunday before the service to enable the Rector to give everything a quick wipe down!
