Flower Rota - There is a calendar on the table at the back of church
for people to indicate when they would like to do flowers on the altar.
Sound System and Hearing
Loop for St Cuthbert's Church - I am delighted to
be able to tell you that we can now go ahead with commissioning a new sound
system and hearing loop as quite a number of people came forward after last
Sunday's services and generously offered a donation. We would be grateful, therefore, if everybody
who has offered a donation could now send the money (cheques payable to St Cuthbert's PCC) to the Vicar who
will then pass it all on to the treasurer.
If you are able to gift aid your donation, please include your name,
address and postcode - but don't gift aid it if you don't pay enough tax in the
year to cover it! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!
New Churchwardens and a
Treasurer will be needed for St Cuthbert's
Church after Easter to take over from David and Jane who have served us so
well. Please can everyone think and pray
about this matter - the church is a community so it is the responsibility of
ALL of us to help find replacements for David and Jane. We are immensely grateful for all that David
and Jane have done for St Cuthbert's Church.
Evening Services - From February onwards, there will normally be three
evening services each month - the first Sunday at Glen Methodist
Church
Church cleaning at St
Cuthbert's - There is a new list in church for
willing volunteers to sign for when it would be convenient for them to take a
turn. The dates are mainly fortnightly
beginning on a Monday which means you can clean at any time during that period
at your convenience. Volunteers need to
be aware of any extra services which may be taking place. Cleaning materials are provided and you may
need a key. We could do with one or two
more helpers to spread the load.
An Evening of Antiques with
Charles Hanson takes place on the 8th February at
Bunning Hall, Main Street ,
Cosby , LE9 1UU
The Real Easter Egg - The Real Easter Egg created by the Meaningful Chocolate
Company is a fairtrade egg that also tells the Easter story and the reason for
Easter eggs (the chocolate tastes nice too!).
A colourful version of the Easter story is included and some stickers and
there is also an Easter quiz - all for just £3.99 If you are planning to give any Easter Eggs
or make use of them in school or church, then why not think about it. You can order from Christian Resources at St
Martins House, 7 Peacock Lane ,
Leicester , LE1 5PZ
Humour is a gift – Written by an
NHS medical secretary: "Patient's
medical history has been remarkably insignificant with only a 40 pound weight
gain in the past three days.".
