and looking on your beauty

may be changed into the likeness of Jesus Christ our Lord.

God our Father,

whose Son, the light unfailing,

Coffee Rota

We would really like to have more people on the coffee rota after our 9:15 at St Cuthbert's. At the moment there are only a few people who are doing it each week and we would good to have more people to make it easier so everyone has a chance to mingle.
It is a very important part of our service as it is time for all of us to talk and share together over a coffee. Please sign up on the sheet at the counter. 

Lifts to Services

If you need a lift to any of our services, please contact Rev’d Kim for Great Glen or Richard Bloor (259 2440) at Burton Overy to arrange one for you.

Calling All to Sign a Petition

The Bishop of Leicester is encouraging us to consider signing the End Hunger UK petition raised by Church Action on Poverty, calling on the Government to review Universal Credit. End Hunger UK is built on a vision of a society where everyone has access to good food, and no one has to go to bed hungry. We call on Government to fix Universal Credit to prevent more people going hungry. The petition is on the table by the door, please consider signing it before you leave. 

 Trip in 2020 to The Passion Play in Germany’s Oberammergau.
