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.

PRAYER SERVICE: 7.30pm at St Cuthbert's on the 2nd July.  Please join us as we continue to pray for our villages for God's Kingdom to come and that he would bring life and hope.  There will be songs, prayers and refreshments.  Everyone is welcome

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 Overy and they will arrange one for you.

KEEPING PEOPLE IN TOUCH  Please do take copies of this news-sheet to anyone you know who might be interested, especially to those who can’t get to church at the moment.

WHY NOT put an extra can or tin 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.  No biscuits, cereals or any other packet foods please as the mice are quite partial to these.

Please pray for:
·         Mollie Alexander, Margaret Bannister, Lara Beech, Sue Burnham, Bernard Higgins Christine Higgins, Elizabeth Tacey, Martin Tacey, Mike and Katherine and family, and all who are ill
·         everyone affected by the terrible attack on London Bridge and Borough Market on 3rd June
·         everyone affected by the deadly blaze at London’s Grenfell Tower apartment block on 14th June
·         all those caught up in the deadly forest fire in central Portugal
·         the people affected by the attack on the Finsbury Park Mosque
·         the people in Ukraine, Syria, Iraq, and Gaza, and all other places of conflict in the world, that peace may return.
