"By the time he was admitted, his rapid heart had stopped and he
was feeling much better."

For Jim Dunning, Phyllis Stanley, Laura Record,
John Spencer, Myra Humphrey, Joyce Whelband, Judith Buffrey’s grandson Joel,
Rachel Stevens, and all who are ill.
·
For the family and friends of Floss Langton who
died recently.
·
For all our churchwardens who are entrusted with
the task of choosing our next vicar that they may make a suitable appointment
in due course.
·
For the unrest and fighting particularly in Syria
·
That we may all enjoy a sunny bank holiday when it
arrives.
