News in the Pews

Sunday 4th August – Transfiguration of Our Lord

Collect for Today
Generous God,
you give us gifts and make them grow:
though our faith is small as mustard seed, make it grow to your glory and the flourishing of your kingdom;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Post Communion Prayer
Lord God, whose Son is the true vine and the source of life,
ever giving himself that the world may live:
may we so receive within ourselves
the power of his death and passion
that, in his saving cup,
we may share his glory and be made perfect in his love;
for he is alive and reigns, now and for ever.

Quiet Prayer and Meditation 
This group will be taking a summer break. We shall meet again on September 25th at the NEW TIME of 3pm.  Many thanks, Christine.

Sunday School on the 11th August due to Linda being away we are unable to hold Sunday School on the 11th August for the 9:15 am service. We will have the children in with us and make it an all age service.

A personal thank you from Kim: Dear all, I want to thank you for your prayers considering my operation. I have now received a date for the 22nd of August. Please continue to pray that it is not cancelled! I will be away for 5 weeks following the operation. We will have a 3rd Year Curate, Gareth Hutchinson, who will be coming to cover my absence. Please make him feel welcome as he joins us. Sarah of course is with us and will work with Gareth during this time. Thank you again for your prayers and support.

Message from Gareth Hutchinson:
I’m Gareth and am married to Laura, we have two boys Noah (aged 9) and Eli (aged 5).  Although I’m originally form Northern Ireland I’ve spent most of my life in England primarily in Swindon, which is where Laura and I started our married life together, before moving to Bristol for Bible college.  We’ve been in curacy at Church of the Martyrs in Leicester for just over 2 years.  Laura works part time as a teacher and then runs a charity named Leicester Baby Basics which supplies good quality second-hand baby kit to families who otherwise would not be able to afford the essentials.  For fun times together we like canoeing, Lego and ice-cream, although probably not all at the same time.  And our desire is to see more of who God is and what He’s doing both in our lives and in the lives of those we encounter.
