Planned works to the churchyard

Whilst in this time of lock down, many 'usual' activities, services and gatherings have been paused or changed, some aspects of life at St Clement's wait for no one...

Before the pandemic took hold, we had submitted a request to the Diocese for a Faculty to improve and renew our churchyard. This is now in review by the Diocesan Advisory Committee, who have granted until 1st May 2020 for people to register any objections or complaints about our plans.

The plans are available to view on our website, and objections may be lodged via email with the Diocesan Registrar at: Ely.Registry@1thesanctuary.com.

Online worship at St Clement's

Due to the ongoing needs to contain the coronavirus epidemic, we are unfortunately unable to broadcast our services from St Clement's Church itself. However, we invite you to join our 'digital' congregation online, with our Sunday Eucharist celebrated at 11am. The service will be available via the Zoom platform, at https://us04web.zoom.us/j/6200111351, with the online meeting staying open for some time after the service to allow for conversation and social contact.

Worship at St Clement's

In line with Church of England and government policy, all public services and events at St Clement's are, regrettably, suspended until further notice.

However, this does not mean a lack of activity at St Clement's, and we hope to be able to support our community and congregation in many other ways in the coming weeks, and will keep you updated with news.

We will endeavour to keep the church open where possible, during the daytime, for private prayer and reflection. Prayer will continue at the church, with the Daily Offices of Morning Prayer, Ante-Communion and Evening Prayer spoken in the church. We invite you to join us in thoughts and words from wherever you may be at present, and you are welcome to get in touch with any requests for prayers in particular causes.

We will also continue to celebrate Sunday Mass at St Clement's. Though held in private, this service will be available to watch online shortly thereafter, and we will be posting details of how to take part in the service through the digital channel wherever you may be. We will be posting details of the latest videos and how to access them on our website and Facebook Page; do stay in touch.
