Live Streamed Services

Fr Nicholas Setterfield

Whilst we hope and pray that people join us in person for services, there are many reasons why it is not always possible for those wishing to participate in worship to be physically present. Whatever that reason - be it illness or infirmity, perhaps a Northamptonian with a prior association who has moved away - we believe it is important to continue making the main gathering of our worshipping community accessible to as many people as possible.

One of the more positive legacies of the Covid pandemic is a renewed sense of the value we attach to feeling connected whilst apart, and its importance to our general wellbeing. For a certain group of people, the ability to see, hear and join in with our worshipping life from home continues to be a spiritual lifeline.

We are also alive to the outreach potential of live streaming for those others who might be inspired to travel in response to our invitation to 'come and see' us in person.

Our livestreams may be viewed either direct on our website or on our new YouTube channel. Streaming starts approximately 5 minutes before the scheduled start time of the service. We also provide an accompanying order of service, containing the full text, which may be downloaded and printed in advance.

To comply with safeguarding best practice and licensing requirements, the wider community may view streamed services for a limited period of up to 7 days afterwards. So, there is a window of opportunity to catch up should you not be able to take part simultaneously or need to watch in stages.
