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

Congratulations to Mollie Parkinson, Ellie Odams & Alice Masters who won the Intermediate section and Henry Broughton, Stanley Cockerill & Matthew Hookes who came second in the Junior section!

Sunday Breakfast on 9th October – Do join us for breakfast (or some part of it) at St Cuthbert’s Church after the 8.30 a.m. service – it will give you longer to appreciate the harvest decorations! This will be a particularly sociable day for us all – you can eat breakfast or lunch in church, or even both!

BCP Holy Communion at Carlton Curlieu on Sunday, 16th October, 6.30 p.m. will include hymns led by St Cuthbert’s choir. Please do come and enjoy this traditional service in the beautiful church of St Mary the Virgin.


St Cuthbert’s PCC are in the process of reviewing what the church currently does and how we can best use our time and energies for the next few years. The PCC has identified six groups of people to focus on:

1st Those who enjoy BCP services
2nd People who want Holy Communion
3rd Adults in the 30-40 year age group
4th Non-attending villagers (with faith)
5th Wedding and baptism families
6th Choral element and young singers

The PCC is now considering what we are doing at present that focuses upon these areas of our church life and how we might improve what we do in order to identify desirable outcomes for each of the identified focus areas. It would be good to take plenty of people’s thoughts into account, so please do discuss this with PCC members and/or the Vicar before the next PCC meeting on 24th November

Hearing Loop – St Andrew’s Church at Burton Overy now has a hearing loop as part of the loudspeaker system. If you wear a hearing aid, adjust the switch to the T position and you will hear the service clearly.

Children during the 10.30 a.m. Communion Services are invited to move into the north aisle (whether at Glen or Burton) after the Gloria.. They rejoin their parents in the pews at The Peace.

Please pray:-
• For all who are ill or suffering.
• For St Cuthbert’s Funding Campaign.
• For students starting university or college for the first time.
• For those who are anxious or bereaved, especially the families and friends of the miners who have died in accidents recently.
• For peace and stability in Libya and Syria.
