Today, we had the opportunity to pray together across our organisation. Shrewsbury WiF Advent Service was  live-streamed from Shrewsbury Cathedral  which  meant  not only  those members present in the cathedral could be together, but they could be joined by any  other members  across the country.

Our fellowship service  was treated to a thought provoking  comparison of what our founder members encountered during wars and a pandemic  to what  we are trying to do following in their footsteps today.  A key question from Father Edmund’s homily was  “Isn’t Women  in Fellowship simply an invisible  bond of connection that makes communication possible and sustains  friendship, family and community? ”  and even more so now as we strive through in our current  pandemic.

Father Edmund has kindly agreed to share his  homily and it can be found in the following link to read: Shrewsbury WiF Advent Service Homily

Social distancing in the pews, face coverings, hand sanitizer, no singing, one way systems – these are just a few of the Covid secure procedures in place to enable services to take place.

Thank you to Shrewsbury Cathedral for sharing our WiF service today, and to the organist for reminding us about the joys of hearing  live music !
