Dialstone Lane Notices - 21st January 2021Continuing Church Building ClosureAt the Church Council meeting on Thursday 21st January, we discussed whether the time was yet right for us to reopen the church building. We felt that although the vaccinations are being rolled out amongst our congregation in an encouraging way, the general levels of infection make it too risky as yet. The Leadership Team will review the situation again in the middle of February. We recognise that with such a gap since we first trained ourselves and since we last implemented the safety procedures, we will need to rehearse them again before we can reopen a Covid secure Church. For those who have received a vaccination this is the advice from the Gov.UK website: “The 1st dose of the COVID-19 vaccine should give you good protection from coronavirus. But you need to have the 2 doses of the vaccine to give you longer lasting protection. There is a chance you might still get or spread coronavirus even if you have had the vaccine. This means it is important to:
Please stay safe everyone! Catriona Stoker, Co-ordinating Steward.

ThanksAnn and family would like to say a very big thank you to everyone for their messages, phone calls, emails, plants and beautiful flowers and the lovely hand made gifts. Two things have been very clear and that is how loved Ted was and how caring people are. During this pandemic we have been especially moved by the care we have received from The Christie . Ted was especially grateful to the dedicated staff who became ‘family and friends’ during the time we were unable to visit him. I am sure they will appreciate the donations we have received in Ted’s memory. Thanks to everyone’s generosity we have been able to send £1500 to The Christie Hospital and £500 to Cancer Research. This could possibly be more as some folk have sent their donations direct. One of the headings in Our Calling is Learning and Caring. Caring is what DLMC does best. Our thanks go to Andrew, David, Jane, Sue and Susan who helped at the church service and to Mandy and Cathy who helped us through a very difficult time and made Ted’s funeral very special. We very much appreciated those who came to say their goodbyes outside church in the cold and damp. Thank you all for caring and for all the fun and friendship we have both received in the past. May God bless everything you do in His name and may he keep us all safe and well until we meet again to worship face to face. Love and prayers, Ann WheelchairThere is a lightweight folding wheelchair at church available to borrow if anyone needs it to get to their vaccine appointment. Please contact stewards if you need this.
