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.

Greetings Cards Please do have a look at the cards in church which are for sale.
There are several new ones. Mother’s Union cards are priced at cost and that money goes towards funding Mother’s Union projects around the world. There are other cards in a separate box which are either handmade or from redundant stock for which we would appreciate a voluntary donation for church funds.

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.
