Clypping & Pancakes

Come & Join us on Zoom as we offer a virtual Clypp (hug) our Church ask for God’s blessing on our communities and share pancakes!

https://zoom.us/j/5273085317?pwd=Y3QzeUl0ay82dDV5T29lMCs4RFhhZz09

Clipping the church is an ancient custom that is traditionally held in England on Easter Monday or Shrove Tuesday. The word “clypping” is Anglo-Saxon in origin, and is derived from the word “clyppan”, meaning “embrace” or “clasp”. Clipping the church involves the congregation holding hands in a ring around the church. Once the circle is completed onlookers will often cheer and sometimes hymns are sung. Following the ceremony a sermon is delivered in the church and there are refreshments.  Christians adopted this tradition to show their love for their church and the surrounding people.

This year we are having a Zoom Clypping and Pancakes service! Please do join us with pancakes ready and if you can a Lemon (all will be explained on the night)! As we can’t hug the Church this year we have included a Clypping Blessing Card so you can go to your Doorsteps and then come back to the Zoom!
