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.

Christmas Offerings - there is still time! If you haven’t been able to join in sending money to this cause there will be a box at the back of church for the next couple of weeks. It would be great if we could get enough to send at least 10 of the children back to school. We have raised £1000 so far and if we could give a bit extra that would be a real blessing. Here is a reminder of what we are raising money for this year. Having received an urgent message from Bishop Stanley we have decided to support the Primary School in Arusha, Tanzania. There are 20 students who are unable to continue their education after Christmas as their parents are not able to pay the fees. Each year costs from £150 to £200 per child depending on which class they are in (infants £150 and juniors £200).
Prayer for Christian Unity 22nd January
at 10:30 am at the Methodist Chapel. It is an opportunity to gather
together in prayer and fellowship so please join us. This will be our 10:30
service for that Sunday.
St Andrew's Church Tower - now the scaffolding
is in place work is about to start on the tower roof and should be finished by
the end of March. Finance, including grants, is in place.
Hopefully, this will conclude the major work on the church at Burton
Overy.
Advance Notices
Sunday January 29th from 7:30-9:00 pm there
will be an extra service held at St Cuthbert's Church. There are different
groups of Christians from various churches in Great Glen and we all have one
thing in common, a heart to see God move in a new way in Great Glen. So we are
gathering together to pray for the village. There will be prayer stations,
worship, and a short service run by various Christians from the village,
followed by light refreshments. If you have a heart to see God do new things in
the village then come and join us for prayer so that we might open the door for
God to do new things among us. Any further questions please see Kim.
Coffee Morning at The Springs, Carlton
Lane, Burton Overy on Saturday 4th February - 10.30-12.00 - cake stall and
raffle. Proceeds will be divided between the
Bethlehem Rehabilitation Hospital, the Jeel al Amal Boys Orphanage and
the St John Eye Hospital in Jerusalem. The trip in March to the Holy
Land, led by Kim and Canon Philip Norwood, will be visiting the Rehabilitation
Hospital and the Boys Orphanage. Please
support this event, so that those of us who are not travelling to the Holy Land
may be involved in some small way in the pilgrimage.
Please
pray for:-
·
Margaret Bannister, Gracie, Elizabeth
Tacey, Mollie Alexander, Kimberley Tyler and all who
are ill
·
the soul of Joan Kirby who passed away
recently (Funeral 12:00 pm Monday the 23rd January at St Cuthbert’s)
·
Arthur Hodgson who will be baptised at St
Andrew’s on 29th January
·
the people in Ukraine, Syria, Iraq, and Gaza,
and all other places of conflict in the world, that peace may return
