Collect
for Today:
Risen Christ,
faithful shepherd of your
Father’s sheep:
teach us to hear your voice
teach us to hear your voice
and to follow your
command,
that all your people may
be gathered into one flock,
to the glory of God the
Father.
Post
Communion Prayer:
Merciful Father,
you gave your Son Jesus
Christ to be the good shepherd,
and in his love for us to
lay down his life and rise again:
keep us always under his
protection,
and give us grace to
follow in his steps; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
NOTICES
Parish
Giving Scheme Digital Launch
I reported to members of the congregation at St. Cuthbert’s that we were
expecting the “soft launch” for the online sign up of the Parish Giving Scheme
to be the 9th April. However I have just received an email from the
Diocese Generous Giving Advisor that there has been a delay. They now expect
the launch to take place probably in the summer. In the meantime if you are considering
supporting the mission and ministry of our church on a regular basis by direct
debit they suggest that we continue to use the paper forms for the time being.
There are some packs containing forms on the table just inside church or ask me
to bring you one.

Tennis starts again for children on May 2nd – come along to The Springs, Carlton Lane, Burton Overy on Wednesdays

Opportunity
St Cuthbert’s church is
looking for more people to take a turn on a rota for sidesman duty,
particularly at the 10:45am services. Offering the gift of hospitality by
welcoming people to church is a privilege and a joy. If you would like to be a
part of this, please speak to Amy Cook, 259
2610, amy@cooksonline.net.

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.
