BERWICK PAINTINGS AUDIO DESCRIPTION LAUNCH
Sunday 6th September at 4 p.m.
A local teacher/director of drama, Andrea Brooks, has made recordings of audio descriptions of some of the main paintings in Berwick Church for the visually impaired. Andrea has been visiting the church since she was a child, when she was brought by her grandparents. The recordings are also helpful to listen to for those who are not visually impaired and will be used with educational and visiting groups. At the same time they communicate in a beautiful way the gospel message for whose glory the paintings were installed.
The recordings will be accessible using headphones provided and a QR code. As most modern phones do not have a headphone socket, adaptors are also provided which enable the headphones to be plugged into the phone’s charging socket. These are available in the church now for people to try out and we would welcome feedback.
If you know of individuals or groups for the visually impaired please let us know so that we can send them an invitation to this event, or invite them along yourselves.

DAY OF PRAYER
AT
ALCISTON CHURCH ON WEDNESDAY 30TH SEPTEMBER 2026
There will be a prayer day in Alciston church on 30th September. The day is punctuated with services but the aim is to have somebody in church praying all day. To this end there is a rota online which you are invited to sign up to. The slots are 1 hour long. Please click on this link to access the rota. As well as people committing to the rota others are welcome to come and go throughout the day for shorter periods of time.
I would also welcome contributions from people who would like to offer perhaps to play a musical instrument, sing & playing, lead chant, read poetry – for 10-20 mins or so during a time of their choosing on the rota or at one of the services. People pray in different ways and sometimes with different aids, such as prayer beads or a hand held cross. Further ideas and information will be made available nearer the day but please do sign up and contribute ideas.
