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
Timeout is our new monthly event for families – It takes place at the Old Greyhound Inn once a month from 4 p.m. until 6 p.m. on a Saturday. The next one is Saturday, 19th November. There will be games for the children, spaces for adults to chat or watch TV (football results ...!), time to eat and time to pray. Come and enjoy yourselves!
Advent Service of Light – Do join us for this lovely candlelit service at 6.30 p.m. on Sunday, 27th November, at St Cuthbert’s Church. With great singing from the choir, it’s a lovely way to start the Christmas preparation season.
Funding Programme – The programme is drawing to a close and the final result should be announced by the end of November. Our thanks are due to the hard work of the visitors. If you still have to complete your forms, it would be helpful if they could be returned to Roger Hickling by the 20th November. If you still have a query, please contact David Webster on 0116 259 3717.
We welcome Sophie Clark who has volunteered to help the church for an hour a week for three months as part of her bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award. Sophie is coming after school on Friday afternoons but may be available at other times so if there are any suitable tasks you would like Sophie to help with, please get in touch with the Vicar.
Sunday Breakfast at St Cuthbert’s Church – We will not be able to have our monthly Sunday Breakfast on the second Sunday of November as the church will be full of chairs for the Remembrance Service. The only other Sunday in November where both 8.30 and 10.30 services are at Glen is the 20th November when Mary will be in Somerset for her grandson’s baptism. Would anyone be willing to organise breakfast in church that day?
God, the Universe and Everything (The Bishop’s Lay Congress 2011) is on Saturday, 26th November, from 9.30 a.m. until 3.45 p.m. at The Samworth Enterprise Academy, Trenant Road, Leicester, LE2 6TF.
