the glory of God the Father.

Merciful
Father,
you
gave your Son Jesus Christ to be the good shepherd,

through
Jesus Christ our Lord.

Diocese Generous Giving
Claire Bampton from the Diocese Generous Giving team, in her sermon on
Sunday 5th May, spoke about trusting God as we launched the Parish Giving
Scheme in our church. In fact, quite a few of already use this “direct debit”
scheme, including all the members of the choir in case you ever wonder why we
do not put a contribution on the plate as it passes by. This scheme is run by
the diocese of Gloucester on our behalf. Not only do we get your donation that
you pledge by direct debit each month (or quarter) but also the additional 25%
of gift-aid if you are a tax payer. It is still possible to use these forms in
order to make your regular contribution even if you are not a tax payer or do
not wish to gift-aid your donation. You don’t have to feel guilty either of not
putting money on the plate. There are cards on the table by the door that you
can pick up and drop on the plate instead. The forms are available from the
back of the church or from me - Amy Cook
Have you ever thought
you might want to serve the Lord in some way within the church? There are many ways to get involved both big and small. Here are some of
the ways you can at St Cuthbert’s:
·
Bell ringing- we have a great
opportunity for people young and old to learn how to ring our lovely bells. If
you are interested please speak to Roland Cook.
·
Choir – the choir is looking for new
members young or old, experienced or novice, why not have a go? If you are
interested please speak to Moira Bartlett.
·
Intercessions- if you like to pray
we are looking for more people to intercede during both the 9:15 and 10:45
service. Please speak to Gemma Herrick for 9:15 and Carole Henson for 10:45 if
you are interested.
·
Reading- if you like to read we are
looking for more readers for our 9:15 and 10:45 services. Talk to Sarah Collins
for 9:15 or Amy Cook for 10:45.
·
Sides people- if you love to
welcome people we would love to have you on our team at the 10:45 please talk
to Amy Cook.
·
Coffee Rota- do you like
bringing a smile to people’s faces than why not serve them so lovely coffee in
between the two services? Please talk to Kim if you are interested.
