Sound System and Hearing
Loop for St Cuthbert's Church - We are about £400 -
£500 short of the amount of donations needed to enable us to purchase this and
we need to let the suppliers know if we are going ahead with this fairly
soon. If you can make a donation (large
or small - it all adds up), please contact Mary as soon as possible. If 10 people gave £50 each or 25 people gave
£20 each, we would have enough – it should be within our reach!
Evening Services - From March onwards, there will normally be three
evening services each month - the first Sunday at Glen Methodist
Church
Thank you everyone who helped clean and tidy up our churches after Christmas
- they look so nice and welcoming and we all appreciate it.
Church cleaning at St
Cuthbert's - Many thanks to Kate Brookes (who
did a lot of the church cleaning last year) and also to the other volunteers
who all kept our church looking very spick and span. 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. It would be wonderful if we
could have one or two more helpers to spread the load.
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. Dates may need to be amended depending on
whether there is a wedding – we should have information about weddings by early
February.
Great Glen Charity For those struggling financially in the aftermath of
Christmas, there is money to help people buy vital new equipment such as a
washing machine and so, if you ever hear a comment like "I don't know how
I'm going to manage without, please get in touch with the Vicar or one of the
other trustees.
The Eton Choir are coming to Leicester Cathedral on 2nd February at 7
p.m. to give a choral performance in aid of Hope against Cancer and Parkinsons
UK. Adults £10 and under 14s £5. For more information, please call 0116 270
0101 or email enquiries@hfcr.org.uk
Age UK Shops need fresh supplies of things to sell. If you have anything to donate, please take
it to one of their shops - large items such as furniture can be collected by
calling 0116 278 1208.
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
Hearing Loop – St Andrew’s Church at Burton Overy 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.
Humour is a gift – My daughter
asked me for a pet spider for her birthday, so I went to our local pet shop and
they were £70. "Blow this" I
thought, "I can get one cheaper off the web".
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
