Following sweeping national restrictions aimed at slowing the spread of the virus, the church, office and centre are closed. Although our buildings will be closed, the Church continues to be alive and active.
REQUEST FOR PRAYER:
For those who have particular concerns about Coronavirus and would welcome prayer we have established an email link that you can use to ask for prayer – prayer@stpaulscamb.co.uk . Any prayer requests will be dealt with by one or more of the several groups that meet for prayer during the week. Please keep prayer information brief. While a measure of confidentiality will be observed, sharing the request means that complete confidentiality is not possible.

Daily Hope – The Church of England has set up a free, 24 hour phone line, Daily Hope, which offers music, prayers and reflections as well as full worship services from the Church of England. The number is 0800 804 8044 and the service has been created particularly with those unable to join online church services during the period of restrictions in mind.
