Extended Communion with the Reserved Sacrament is intended as a means of facilitating regular reception of Holy Communion. In this service the Reserved Sacrament (previously consecrated by a Priest) is distributed by suitably trained lay people with the approval of the Area and Diocesan Bishops. Extended Communion indicates that the lay person “extends” the Communion, celebrated within the Benefice by our Priests, across the whole Benefice.
The liturgy for Communion by Extension can be found here. If you wish for further information, please find attached ‘Guidelines on Communion from the Reserved Sacrament’ and ‘Ad Clerum on Communion from the Reserved Sacrament’

Please find attached this week’s readings and our Local Prayer Diary with thanks to Sue McLeod for preparing this.

ADDENDUM TO NEWSHEET Week Commencing 4 December 2022
There are 2 items omitted from the newsheet for which we apologise:
1. Return to the use of the Common Cup. As we are pleased to see that the Covid risk is now low we are delighted to announce that with the agreement of the retired Clergy, the PCC have decided to return to sharing the common cup. Communicants may, of course, choose just to receive the Bread, but they should not dip it in the cup as this is believed to increase the transfer risk.
2. Christmas Edition of the Benefice Magazine. Due to the need to correct some service timings we delayed the publication of the Christmas Edition of the Benefice Magazine on the web site. The corrected magazine can be found by clicking here.
