NOTICES

Thanks to St. Cuthbert’s Bellringers who joined the national ring-in for the Olympics after the first chime from Big Ben – what timing!!  Very special! 

The next Time Out will be on Saturday, 4th August at St Cuthbert's Church from 4 until 6 p.m.  Food and drink will be provided for a donation. 

Bring and Share BBQ Lunch will be on Sunday, 26th August from 12 noon onwards in the garden of St Cuthbert's Vicarage (weather permitting!).  Plenty of space for everyone - do come and join us.  Bring your own plates and cups and cold drinks.  We will provide the cutlery, tea and coffee. 

Red Cross Big Wheel Appeal: More wheelchairs are needed locally to be loaned to people for temporary situations.  There will be a bucket in the back of our churches for the next few weeks if you would like to contribute to this appeal by the Leics. & Rutland branch of the Red Cross. 

The next Sunday Breakfast will be on Sunday, 12th August at 9.15am after the 8.30am service at St Cuthbert's Church. 

A flower-arranging demonstration by Rosemary Mason will be held on Thursday evening, September 6th, in aid of St Cuthbert's Church funds.  Rosie holds a warrant for making the posies carried by the Queen and her attendants at the Maundy Services.  Please put this date in your diary. 

Service Amendments - There is a correction to a few services detailed in  the Church Magazine Summer Issue.  The services on the 26th August are 8.30 a.m. at St Cuthbert's and 10.30 a.m. at St Andrew's (in the magazine they are they are the other way round). 

LEP discussions - On the 19th August, we will be sharing both 10.30 a.m. and 6.30 p.m. services with Glen Methodist Church.  On the 16th September we have arranged an open meeting to discuss whether or not to continue our exploration of joining the two churches together.  This is to enable an open discussion on the matter with no preconceived decisions.  The meeting will take place after the 10.30 a.m. service and will be followed by a bring and share lunch. 

Sparklers needs a leader – We need someone who is willing to chat to and get to know the families who come, and occasionally lead the short simple service (song, story, prayers).  Please can everyone pray about this and think about who might be able to take on this role for us.  Please contact Mary on 259 2238 with any queries or thoughts.  Thank you. 

Prayer Book Society Evensong (BCP) will take place at All Saints' Church, Church Street, Blaby, at 3 p.m.  All welcome.

Humour is a giftGod’s Post-It notes  - You can tell how big a person is by what it takes to discourage him.' 

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 - 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 that all children will come to the altar with their families to receive a blessing (or communion if they normally receive this). 

Keeping People in Touch - Please do take copies of this news-sheet to anyone you know who might be interested, especially to anyone who can't come to Church at the moment. 

Lifts to Services - If you need a lift to any of our services, please contact Howard Bartlett (259 3747) at Glen or Richard Bloor (259 2440) at Burton and they will arrange one for you. 

Please pray:-
