Local Online Worship Resources
For those of you that have been missing your usual fellowship, particularly over Easter, here is a list of local online resources that may help during these difficult times. The list has been helpfully collated by Revd Andy Williams.
Holy Trinity Hursdfield
HTH Sunday Live
http://www.hthmacc.com/hth-sunday-live.html – Sunday @ 10:30am:
– a live stream welcome, a bit of online chat, and ‘introduction’ to our service. (this is the only ‘live’ bit we do, and it is available after the live time as a recorded piece)
– then on the webpage there are links to pre-recorded sermon, prayer topics, worship songs and activities for kids and teens.
HTH at HOME
http://www.hthmacc.com/hth-at-home.html
This is a ‘resource page’ that we are building up over time with Easter reflections (some videos others written – online till Easter Monday), prayer resources, interesting reading material, and photos from people who are joining in with stuff…
It is all accessible from our website: www.hthmacc.com

All Saints & St Barnabas Macclesfield
In terms of worship I’m keeping things very simple. I post a reflection each Sunday morning (also one for Good Friday) on our Facebook pages
(https://www.facebook.com/allsaintschurchmacclesfield/ & https://www.facebook.com/stbarnabaschurchmacc/ ). This is also duplicated on All Saints’ website
(https://allsaintschurchmacclesfield.weebly.com ) for those who don’t have Facebook access. Also posting links to other resources by email and on Facebook.
