At Communion Services

If you are a communicant member of a Christian Church, you are welcome to come up to receive the bread and wine.  Otherwise you are welcome to either remain in your seat or come up to receive a blessing.  Keeping your hands down by your side will signify to the Vicar that you wish to receive a blessing.   If you have difficulty coming up to the Communion Rail and would like the Vicar to come to you, then please inform a sidesman.

NOTICES

Drop-In at St Cuthbert's Church takes place on the first Thursday of each month at 10 – 11.30 a.m. David Graves has kindly volunteered to run the Drop-in on 3rd July so please come along and support him.

The Benefice Prayer Group will continue to meet on Wednesday mornings to pray for the people and issues in our churches, villages and the wider world.  There is a Prayer Request Box at the back of St Cuthbert’s Church – please do use it and encourage everyone to use it whether they share our faith and our church-going habits or not!

New lights have been fitted inside the church and the timer system on the lights outside the porch has been resolved.  The floodlights should be in working order by the autumn.

Quiet Day at Launde Abbey – 1st September – Time is running out to book your place.  For details and to make a reservation please contact Christine Higgins on 2592624

St Cuthbert - A Booklet about his life has been placed at the back of the Church for perusal.  It would be appreciated if it was not taken away to read.

Messy Church – Due to falling numbers Messy Church may not continue until we have appointed a new vicar.

Judith Buffrey’s grandson Joel – Judith has written a very nice note as follows:  “Thank you so much for all your prayers for Joel.  He is now very well and eagerly awaiting the arrival of his new baby sister.  God bless you all.”  This is very good news indeed.

Open Church and Teas, Dunton Bassett -All Saints Church Dunton Bassett will be open on Sunday 15th June from 2pm - 4 pm and on every subsequent Sunday until the end of September. Tea and home-made cakes will be available.

Big diocesan festival/funday/opening of Cathedral Gardens and faith sharing day on Saturday 5th July - Suitable for all ages, there’s more about the day here: www.leicester.anglican.org/garden-of-life  The official opening is at midday and the festivities culminate in a simple service of open air baptism followed by free hot dogs (finishing at 6pm). It’s all free and everyone is welcome to come for some or all of the afternoon.

TODAY – the second of the Mission Partnership ‘big’ evensongs is taking place at St. Michael and All Angels Church at Ilston on the Hill.  We try to take our joint choir members to one of the smaller churches in the Gartree Mission Partnership, and on Sunday 15th at 18.30 we will have a choir of 23 singing the Evening Service - a few less than usual because of singers on holiday.  Do come and enjoy a different church, and meet some of our Deanery neighbours.

WHY NOT put an extra can or packet in your shopping basket to bring to church services.  St Cuthbert’s supports Leicester Cathedral’s Welcome Group for destitute asylum seekers and St Andrew’s supports a homeless charity.  Suggestions: rice, pasta (mainly spaghetti), oil, sugar, tea, coffee, tinned goods (tomatoes, fruit, meat, fish, baked beans and sweet corn), shampoo, shower-gel, toothpaste, deodorants, shaving cream/gel.

Events at Launde Abbey this year includes Pudding Nights and Steak Nights, as well as a variety of musical events throughout the summer and autumn and the restaurant is open daily for lunches, snacks and afternoon teas.
