We are looking for volunteers to help in running our cake stall (half of the proceeds will go to Loros and the other half to the church). We also need people willing to bake cakes. We will be having a cake stall next to a prayer tent so we will have prayers and cakes! So if you can help in any
way through being there to help run it, baking cakes or being willing to pray for others please sign up on the sheet in the back of church. Help us to be a witness in our village.

Ride and Stride Saturday 8th September
This annual event provides an opportunity to raise some money for our churches. Around 400 church
doors will be open in the city and county from 10am until 6pm to welcome visitors. Money is raised by sponsoring those who ride or stride around them!
Jo Taylor and Katrina Inchley, both keen cyclists, have offered to ride in aid of St Andrew's Burton Overy, and Dave Henson is riding again in aid of St Cuthbert's - thank you to you all. All we need now are some sponsors!
We also require people to sit in church to 'meet and greet' visitors to the church to offer refreshments, (these will be provided) and initial their sponsor forms. A rota with hourly slots to sign up to is placed on the table at the rear of the church. It is also a chance for visitors to look around our
beautiful church. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Carol Neal
