Covid Update

5th September 2020 by admin

Update: Tuesday 5 January 2021 

Suspension of Public Worship Services

Unfortunately, because of the new January 2021 Coronavirus lockdown measures the Bishop of Liverpool has requested the immediate suspension to Sunday Services until further notice.

 

Update: Thursday 3 December 2020 

From Sunday 6 December our 10.30am service will recommence. Strict Covid mitigation remains in place requiring face covering, signing in for Track and Trace purposes, the use of hand sanitiser, and 2m social distancing at all times except where you are part of the same ‘bubble’.

 

Update: Thursday 5 November 2020 

Due to the second period of national lockdown, no public services will take place until after 2 December 2020.

We are still allowed to hold funerals in church and the usual means of contacting us are still available.

We hope that our services will resume from Sunday 6 December 2020.

 

Sunday Church Services -10.30am
We are now open again for Sunday services at 10.30am every Sunday.

Entrance will be through the Rocky Lane entrance, where hand sanitiser is available.

We ask everyone over 12 years old to wear masks and to sit apart from those not in your household.

Please pick up a service sheet when you come into the church and take it home with you at the end of the service.

Your Collection offerings will be collected via a lined bucket.

Exit will be through the hall into the car park.

We look forward to welcoming you back in church.


Other Service times
Unfortunately, we cannot yet open for an 8am service or the 7.30pm service on Wednesdays.


Sunday Club
Sunday Club hopes to start meeting again from Sunday 6 December 2020.


Arrangement of Occasional Services
If you wish to arrange Weddings, Bans of Marriage, Baptisms, or Funerals, please leave a message on the church answer phone. The number is 0151 722 4549.


Friday Café
We are unable to operate the Friday Café at the present time.


Church Finances
As for many people and organisations, the last six months have been a very difficult period for our Church finances. We have been without the normal Sunday collections, Hall rental income, and unable to organise any fundraising events.

Our income has been a fraction of normal whilst our expenditure has remained almost the same as normal. Not least the payment of our Parish Share to the Diocese of Liverpool; that alone amounts to £1,126 per week!

We pray that you will review your giving for the work of St David in the Parish of Childwall. We have a lot of work to make our finances sound again.


Interregnum
The church of St David Childwall is at present in Interregnum. This is church speak for the time between one Vicar leaving and a new Vicar appointed. Once we have more news we will published it.

Friday Café – Love History

1st July 2017 by admin

Friday 7 July 2017 – 10am until 12 noon

If you’ve never been to the Friday Café before – or even if you have – make sure you come along this Friday!

The historical theatre company ‘Love History’, famous for their theatrical promenade performances in the catacombs of St George’s Hall, will be bringing to life some of Liverpool’s darker history at the Café.

Come along and support this Café event – last year’s ‘Love History’ was a great success and very entertaining.

Community Event to Make Homes Safer (Mar 15)

1st March 2015 by admin

Friday 6 March 2015 (10am – 12 noon) St David’s Church, Rocky Lane

KEEPING your home secure will be the focus of the latest community event at The Friday Morning Community Café at St David’s Church.

The Friday Café, which we helped to set up using some of our Neighbourhood Fund allocation, has run successfully for more than two years.

With our help, it has introduced a monthly community event on the first Friday of each month (excluding Good Friday), the first of which gave out around 70 information packs on keeping warm during winter time and helpful information on saving energy in the home.

Trading Standards, Police, the fire service and housing officers will be on hand offering advice on keeping your home secure and how to protect yourself from doorstep crime and rogue traders.

We hope you will be able to join us at the Café and we would really welcome your thoughts and suggestions for topics that matter to you for the coming months.

If you have not been before, you will find it is very friendly, relaxed and a great place to meet new friends.

Winter Warmer Event (Feb 14)

1st February 2014 by admin

Friday 6 February 2015 St David’s Church, Rocky Lane, Childwall, Liverpool, L16 1JA

The Friday Morning Community Cafe at St Davids Church Childwall has run successfully for over two years. The success has motivated the church to look at opportunities to expand the community facilities. With the help of Childwall Ward Councillors Jeremy Wolfson, Ruth Hirschfield and Frank Hont, the Friday Morning Café will now include a monthly event, on the first Friday of each month, for the benefit of the local community.

The first event takes place on Friday 6 February 2015 10am – 12 noon. At this time of year it’s important for everyone to stay warm especially the elderly and infirm so we will concentrate on keeping warm and getting the best value out of the fuel used during winter time.

As well as helpful advice there will be some packs to take away for practical use to help keep warm and using resources well.

Rev Robert Williams, Vicar of St David Childwall said, “When we decided to start the Friday café at St David’s, we did so with the vision in mind of using the church facilities as a place where people could meet socially, as well as a place that could be used as a meeting point where information could be accessed. Working together with the Childwall Ward councillors, who have given us their full support, we hope that this new resource will be supported by members of the local community and beyond.”

In future months the Friday Morning café are planning to feature dementia awareness, the credit union and debt, and the practical use of computers were people in the community are feeling excluded in their everyday life.

Councillor Wolfson said: “It is very important that we ensure that elderly and vulnerable people in our community are kept safe and warm throughout the winter. As ward councillors we have fully supported the Friday café as it is a great way of providing information and support and I would encourage local residents to take advantage of it.”
