Information for during the Coronavirus pandemic
Update on 3rd February
Following the government’s latest lockdown announcement all churches in the Tadcaster Benefice have taken the difficult decision continue to temporarily suspend ‘in person’ church services for February 2021. This will be kept under review. Happily we will continue with our online zoom Sunday worship and prayers throughout the week.
Private Prayer
St Mary's Tadcaster will be opening to the public for private prayer on Saturdays during February from 10am to 4pm. Please follow the instructions as you enter church. If you'd like to sit in a pew please look for those with a 'sit here' sign, when you are ready to leave please turn the sit here sign over so the next person knows to sit in an alternative pew. You are encouraged to look at the wonderful prayer station in church.
Say one for me Prayer Post Boxes
You can find a prayer post box on the railings of St Mary's, Tadcaster and St Mary's, Church Fenton.
If you have a prayer request please write it out and post it in the prayer post box on the railings of church. Rev Lucy will collect the prayers every few days. Where appropriate we will use the prayers at a Morning Prayer service, if the prayer is more personal and private Rev Lucy will pray for you.
Rev Lucy encourages the children in our communities to leave a prayer in the prayer box, she will read them out during the Wednesday 10.30am Virtual Assembly on facebook Live, and put them on her prayer tree.

We’d love to see more people across the benefice gathering together at our Sunday worship.
You make such a difference. You can even enjoy coffee after the service in our breakout rooms - a great way to make new friends!
We are mindful of those who do not have the equipment to join virtually. We hope these people are receiving phone calls, and perhaps a written form of the notices with my thought for the weekend. If you need anything posting out to isolated members of church, please email stmarystadcaster@gmail.com
Praying for peace and strength for us all, Rev Lucy
