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
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS
LAST WEEK FOR BISHOP MARTYN. I had a good visit
with him getting to know him and sharing with him my hopes and concerns. He is
now fully aware of the situation in our Benefice and the building of a team
with Oadby. Now that he knows the situation better I am hoping we
will be able to move forward in the near future towards a solution that
will benefit us all. I will keep you informed of all developments as they
happen. Kim
LENT COURSE WITH A TWIST We are doing something different for Lent this year. We
will be using the movie 'Chocolat' as the base of our discussions and the
course will begin on the 1st March at 12:30 pm. We will meet at the Methodist Church and have a Bring and Share
lunch followed by the movie. Even if you decide not to
do the whole course it will be a good opportunity for a social gathering so
please do join us for the movie. The course will then continue for the
next five Wednesdays (March 8, 15, 22, 29 and April 5) at 2:00 pm at the
Methodist Church. We will have a short clip from the film and a
discussion. We are trying to do it during the daytime so people do not have to
come out in the evening. We hope you can join us! If you
would like to join us please sign up at the back of the church.
PRAYER MEETING 26th February at 7:30 pm. (Please note this will take the place
of the 4:00 pm Evensong.)
Many people have asked us to run another prayer service at the
church so we are opening the doors once again. There will be tea and coffee at
7:30 pm followed by hymns and prayers. This is an Ecumenical
service and all Christians are invited to come and worship with us.
QUIET PRAYER
AND MEDITATION 3.30 pm on Wednesday, 22nd February
at 20 Kingfisher Close, Great Glen. New
members are encouraged and will be made very welcome. This will be the
last meeting until 3rd May when the Group will resume again after
Easter. Please watch for further details
in NIP. More information from Christine
Higgins, Tel. 2592624.
MEN'S CURRY EVENING,
1st March, 7:30 pm at the Swatlands in Oadby. If you would like to join them
please contact Charlie 07534401547 or e-mail him on Charles.ford316@gmail.com. Please contact him before the 25th February so a reservation
can be made.
LADIES NIGHT OUT. The dates
for the next three months will be February 22nd, March 15th and April
19th. The meeting on 22nd February
will be at the Oadby Grange Pub at 7.30 and the venue for March will be the
Bell at Burton Overy at 7.30. Please
come and join us. To book your place or if you require transport please

TEDDIES FOR TANZANIA Kim would like to
take some teddies with her on her trip to Tanzania next year. See an example on the table at the back of the
Church. The pattern is very simple
if anyone would like to help, and Amy can even supply some wool if needed.
COFFEE
MORNING on Saturday 18th March 10am - 12 noon at the Methodist Church
Hall. Cakes & preserves will be on sale.
All proceeds in aid of the Building Fund.
TONY LONGMAN sadly passed
away last weekend and will be dearly missed. For those
who would like to attend his funeral it will be held at
St Cuthbert’s Church on
Tuesday 21st Feb at 1:30 pm. The wake will take place
following the service at the Pug & Greyhound.
Please pray for:
·
Margaret Bannister, Elizabeth Tacey, Martin
Tacey, Mollie Alexander, and all who are ill
·
the soul of Tony Longman
·
Isla Ryan who will be
baptised on 5th March at St Cuthbert’s
·
the people in Ukraine, Syria, Iraq, and Gaza,
and all other places of conflict in the world, that peace may return
