A Message from Philip Davies, our Parish Priest
It is now possible to access all our Church buildings at certain times for private prayer.
Morning and Evening Prayer: Morning Prayer is said each day in King’s Cliffe Church and on a Friday at 9am in Easton-on-the-Hill. Evening Prayer is said in Bulwick at 4.00pm on Wednesdays. Parishioners are welcome to attend. We can include any special prayer requests. You can download Morning Prayer and a short version of Night Prayer that you may like to use on a regular basis.
Baptisms, Weddings, Funeral and Memorial Services: These can now take place in Church. Government guidance currently restricts attendance and the scientific advice means that no singing is possible. Face-coverings must be worn.
Should a family wish, a Memorial Service can later be arranged for a date that will be beyond the current crisis.
Food Box: There is a Food Box inside King’s Cliffe Church. Donations of any non-perishable food can be added to the basket. If you are in need of any extra food please help yourself. Please wear a face-covering and observe social distancing guidelines when entering and leaving and whilst inside the church.
We can also issue Food Bank vouchers for Stamford Food Bank. Please contact the Church Office by email: office@kingscliffe.church or ring Philip Davies 01780 470314.

Staying at Home: The NHS has published some excellent advice on how to look after your Mental Wellbeing throughout this pandemic.
Coronavirus Guide: Age UK has produced a very clear Guide to Coronavirus. It has been written with older people in mind but it is helpful for anyone with concerns.
