At Communion Services

If you are a communicant member of a Christian Church, you are welcome to come up to receive the bread and wine. Otherwise you are welcome to either remain in your seat or come up to receive a blessing. Keeping your hands down by your side will signify to the Vicar that you wish to receive a blessing. If you have difficulty coming up to the Communion Rail and would like the Vicar to come to you, then please inform a sidesman.

NOTICES

The plums on the Vicar’s trees are ripening fast. Please come and pick as many as you can for your own use!

Great Glen PCC meeting on 30th August will only discuss two topics: future clergy deployment and to decide the future of the Parish Magazine. Please make every effort to attend to discuss these important matters.

Our Parish Magazine – Peter Scott was thanked for his many years’ work on the Parish Magazine at the end of the service on Sunday, 7th August, and received gifts on behalf of the benefice. Please give your thoughts about future parish communications to your churchwardens or Glen PCC members before the 30th August.

This is a weekly bring and share lunch for parents/carers (and children) from 12.30 to 1.45 p.m. each Friday at the Methodist Church Hall to share lunch and fellowship and to pray for family, friends and other situations as we currently do at Sparklers. Mayhem Munchies is for parents but children are welcome of course and there will be toys for them to play with when they’ve finished eating! Mayhem Munchies is a joint project with Glen Methodist Church (as is Sparklers).

St Cuthbert’s Church Funding Campaign will start in September. We require volunteers to do the visiting of existing and new givers. It is intended to keep the visits to a maximum of ten per visitor so we need plenty of volunteers please! If you can help with this, even if you can only do a few visits, please contact David Webster on 259 3717.

Children during the 10.30 a.m. Communion Services – There are bible quizzes, colouring pictures, bible stories, etc available in a children’s area in the north aisle (whether at Glen or Burton). We hope all children will come to the altar with their families to receive a blessing (or communion if they normally receive this).


Please pray:-

• For all recently baptised and for their parents as they bring them up.

• For all who are ill or suffering.

• For those who have recently lost a loved one.

• For pupils receiving their exam results and the decisions concerning their futures.

• For those suffering as a result of the recent riots and for wisdom concerning the discussions raised by the riots.
