NOTICES
Thank you everyone who provided such lovely food for the lunch we shared
with our Methodist friends. At the
meeting, it was decided that we did not wish to proceed to a formal LEP union
at the moment but that the two churches (St Cuthbert's and Glen Methodist)
would gradually increase the sharing of worship, children and young families'
work, and other projects. The steering
group will henceforth be known as the Great Glen Churches Together Steering
Group (GGCT Steering Group for short perhaps!) and Burton Overy has been
invited to send a representative to join the group so that Burton and Carlton Curlieu churches are kept
'in the loop'. Thank you to everyone who
attended the meeting.
Midweek Holy Communion - Each month there is a short Holy Communion Service at
11.30 a.m. at St Cuthbert's Church after the Drop-In on a Thursday
morning. The next one will be on
Thursday, 18th October. Do come and
bring any friends who might appreciate this.
Do come and bring any friends who might appreciate this. It is usually a BCP service, depending on the
wishes of those present.
Services on Sunday, 21st
October - The 10.30 a.m. service will be a
Holy Communion Service at Glen
Methodist Church
and the 6.30mp.m. service will be a BCP Holy Communion Service at Carlton
Curlieu where the singing will be led by St Cuthbert's Church Choir. This is a slight change from what was
published in the Parish Magazine.
Up-date re the new quarterly Church
Magazine - It has been
agreed that the annual charge for the four magazines will be £5. The deadline for items to be included in the
November to January issue is Monday, 8th October. Please email copy direct to
rogerandlynflowers@gmail.com
St Peter's Church, Oadby - On Thursday, 4th October at 6.30 p.m.
there will be a great evening for those who love creation and the
universe. Listen to St Francis' love
story for God's Creation. Ends with a
meditative and reflective Franciscan Prayer.
Conman about - Police have alerted us to an EXTREMELY plausible man
targeting members of churches, synagogues, etc.
He usually tells his victims that a family member has died in a far away
part of the UK
and he needs to borrow money to get there to identify the body, etc.
LOROS Hospice - A virtual tour of their facilities can be seen on their
website http://www.loros.co.uk Contrary
to many people's understanding LOROS is not a place for people to go to
die. They are real experts in making the
most of the rest of life (far better than hospitals) and they help not only the
patient but also their relatives. People
receiving are from LOROS usually do so
as day visitors, they usually only stay in the hospice for as long as it takes
to sort out their medication, etc. LOROS
assist with nursing at home. Why not
have a look online to learn more about LOROS?
It's best to find out about these things when you don't need them - and
you might one day be able to help someone else by passing on what you have
discovered.
The Bishop's Lay Congress
2012 takes place on Saturday, 17th November from 9.30
a.m. until 3.45 p.m. at the Samworth
Enterprise Academy ,
Trenant Road , Leicester , LE2 6UA . It is entitled "God's Economy ....? Christian approaches to the common
good". With crises in the global
economy and financial markets, recession in the UK an d questions being raised
about the way businesses and banks are operating, what's to be done? What might Christian perspectives and values
contribute to building something better, and what needs to change in our ways
of organising our economic, political and social life to develop greater well
being for individuals, communities and nations?
The Australian Voices appeared at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Six singers are now on tour in the UK . They will be appearing at St Mary's Church in
Knighton on Sunday, 7th October, at 7 p.m.
They sing unaccompanied and their repertoire ranges from classical to
modern. Tickets on the door or from the
website www.theaustralianvoices.com
Adults £15. Concessions £12. and
students £6.
Humour is a gift – When Kelli said her bedtime prayers, she
would bless every family member, friend, and animal (current and past). For several weeks after she finished her
prayers, Kelli would say, "And all girls". When asked "Kelli, why do you always add
the part about all girls?", she responded "Because everybody always
finishes their prayers by saying "All Men'!".
Hearing Loop – St Andrew’s Church at Burton Overy has a
hearing loop as part of the loudspeaker system.
If you wear a hearing aid, adjust the switch to the T position and you
will hear the service clearly.
Lifts to Services - If you need a lift to any of our services, please
contact Howard Bartlett (259 3747) at Glen or Richard Bloor (259 2440) at Burton and they will
arrange one for you.
