New Church Website - St Cuthbert's Church at Great Glen
now has its own website which you can find at
https://sites.google.com/site/stcuthbertschurchgreatglen/ - There is a link to
our weekly news-sheet which we call News in the Pews. This has up-to-date information about church
services and activities.
Holy Land Pilgrimage - Bishop Tim is pleased to announce that he will be
leading a diocesan pilgrimage to the Holy Land in the autumn of 2013 (29th
October to 7th November inclusive).
Although the cost is high (around £1,600.) he wants to encourage as many
people as possible to travel with him and therefore he is looking at ways of
helping those not able to afford the cost to travel. If cost will be an influencing factor for
yourself or someone you identify, please do get in touch in the first instance with the Revd
Kevin Ashby who is co-ordinating the trip at The Rectory, 57 Burton Road,
Melton Mowbray, LE13 1DL on 01664 410 393 or email

Humour is a gift – "I was
driving this morning when I saw an RAC van parked up. The driver was sobbing uncontrollably and

breakdown'."
