* Father Lee leads Palm Sunday morning worship which was streamed live from the church. |
Llangollen vicar Father Lee Taylor streamed his Palm
Sunday service from St Collen’s yesterday morning live on Facebook from the
church.
He offered prayers for those suffering from coronavirus
as well as for those in self-isolation and for the doctors and nurses involved
in the battle against the virus for their skill and dedication.
Later in the day Father Lee took to Facebook again to
live stream his regular Self-Isolation Songs of Praise for which people can
sponsor a hymn in aid of church funds.
With worship suspended churches struggle to make ends
meet and Father Lee explained that it costs around £1,000 to maintain just St
Collen’s, which is just one of four churches in the local Anglican group.
Seated at the piano in the vicarage, he sang a series of
hymns including The Church is One Foundation, Jesu, Lover of My Soul, Abide
With Me, At the Name of Jesus.
