News in the pews


Sunday 9th June – Pentecost

Collect for Today
Holy Spirit, sent by the Father,
ignite in us your holy fire;
strengthen your children with the gift of faith,
revive your Church with the breath of love,
and renew the face of the earth,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Post Communion Prayer
Faithful God,
who fulfilled the promises of Easter

Pork Supper - Advance Notice/Date for your diaries
On Saturday the 6th July we are having our Pork Supper at 2 Stretton Road. This year we want to make the occasion more of a family focused affair so we are looking to start the event from 4.00pm with a children's entertainer at 4.30 - 5.30. 
Following this the food will then be served, first to the children. The cost
is yet to be fixed but will be announced as soon as we have estimated costs for the food.
Please put the date in your diaries and we hope to see as many of you there as possible.

St Cuthbert’s Theology Reading Group - Our St. Cuthbert’s Theology Reading Group invites anyone interested in exploring further their Christian faith/ knowledge, to join us at our monthly house meetings. We decide on a recommended book, usually by eminent Christian authors, which we read (one or two chapters at a time) and discuss over several meetings. Our discussions are usually lively and informative with the Rev. Philip Norwood giving us an experienced, guiding hand.
Further information, contact Bert Patrick tel: 2593524; or email bertpatrick@tiltonbroadband.co.uk

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.
·       Sound and Projection - Dave and Simon would love someone to help with sound and projection. When one of them is unavailable they have to manage both by themselves. It is also likely that there maybe a Sunday where they are both committed to volunteering outside the church.  If you are interested please contact Dave Alexander.

30th June Sarah’s Ordination
Please remember Sarah in your prayers. She has moved to her new house, completing assignments and preparing to be ordained. There is so much to take in during this time both exciting and scary so I would ask that we as a church would hold her in prayer during this time and we will have a time on the 30th to come and have coffee and cake to officially welcome her as our curate. Time and place will be announced shortly.
