Face coverings
This is the latest advice from the government: ‘Face coverings are currently mandatory on public transport and will be mandatory in shops and in supermarkets from 24 July 2020. From the 8th of August it will be mandatory in Places of Worship as well. People are also encouraged to wear face coverings in enclosed public spaces where there are people they do not normally meet, such as a place of worship.’
And the Church of England guidance:
‘We strongly advise that face coverings should be worn by all those attending a place of worship, including ministers, worshippers, staff, volunteers, contractors and visitors, where there may be other people present; remembering that they are mainly intended to protect other people, not the wearer, from coronavirus COVID-19 and that they are not a replacement for physical distancing and regular hand washing.’
Please remember that face masks are worn primarily to protect other people and that it is possible to have Covid-19 asymptomatically and still to pass it on.
Reverend Siân Lawton is making cloth face masks for sale at £5 each (or whatever you can afford). These are sold in aid of our group of churches and Siân has already raised £350; please contact her if you would like to place an order.

Activities for children
On the church website – mashamparishes.org under Child Activities there are three sections – Collective Worship, Pram Praise and Jesus and Me. There are lots of stories, videos and activities. Please tell anyone you know who you think might be interested.
Reflection
Food is the theme of this Sunday’s readings – the food we need to sustain our bodies and the spiritual food we need to nourish our souls. In the miracle of the feeding of the five thousand, Jesus offers both. There is an invitation here to ponder whether we are sustained by our spiritual life, or whether we need to adjust our diet to nourish our lives with God more fully.

Reduced public worship
To lower the risk of transmission of the virus, to reduce the amount of cleaning that needs to be done, to give clergy extra time for the additional preparation for taking services and to enable the church to open midweek for private prayer we regret that we have had to reduce the number of services – for the time being there will be no 8.00 a.m. Sunday Holy Communion at Masham (join us for the 10.45 a.m.), no Wednesday 10.00 a.m. service in church at Masham, there will be one on the telephone and no Revive on the second and fourth Sundays at North Stainley. We will review this as soon as possible.
