Dear all
I do hope you have been enjoying the sunshine. We look forward to welcoming you again this Sunday for our usual service pattern; this week we shall also be admitting our churchwardens to another year of service during the Notices at the 9.30 am Eucharist, following their election at the APCM. I am so very grateful to them both for their support, wisdom and encouragement. Looking ahead to next Sunday (7th July), this will be our Family Eucharist as usual on the first Sunday of the month, but as this is the final Family Eucharist before the summer holidays, we shall be particularly celebrating our Children’s Ministry – thanking all the children who read, pray, sing or welcome at our services, expressing our gratitude to all who have served as Sunday School leaders or helpers over the past year, and commissioning those who have offered themselves to serve with our children’s groups during the academic year ahead. If you fall into one of these categories, we specially hope that you will be able to be with us on 7th July at the 9.30 am service, as we give thanks for our children and for all those who give their time and talent to help them grow and develop in faith. The 9.30 service itself will take the form of a “Teaching Eucharist”, in which we look in more detail (with the children’s help), at what is actually taking place during our Communion services, offering both children and adults further insight into what has been described as a “foretaste of the heavenly banquet”. A brief reminder that the clergy are always very happy to bring Communion to anyone who is ill or unable to leave their home. Please speak to one of us or email or call the Vicarage office to arrange a time. Generous God, you are full of compassion; may we who long for your kingdom to come rejoice to do your will and acknowledge your power alone to save, through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen [Common Worship, response to Psalm 111] With my love and prayers Mother Emma 27th June 2024 |
