At Communion Services
If you are a communicant member of a Christian Church, you are welcome to come up to receive the bread and wine.   Otherwise you are welcome to either remain in your seat or come up to receive a blessing.  Keeping your hands down by your side will signify to the Vicar that you wish to receive a blessing.   If you have difficulty coming up to the Communion Rail and would like the Vicar to come to you, then please inform a sidesman.

NOTICES

Remedial works to the north porch - You will now see the extent of the repair work needed to the porch and this does mean that the porch must remain closed until this work is completed and consequently the toilets are not in use.   Access to the church will only be gained via the south porch.  It is suggested that anyone approaching from Church Road use the kissing gate and footpath to the side in order to keep well away from the building site.

 Car Parking - For safety reasons, please ensure that when attending Church services you do not park within 35 metres of the old A6 junction.

Hearing Loop - Due to the change of plan and the extent of the porch repair work, the loop will be installed at the end of July or early August.

LOROS Market Harborough Support Group Summer Lunch - This is taking place in Burton Overy Village Hall on Friday, 5th July 2013.  Tickets are £12 and are available from Fran Brown (0116 259 3184).  Come and enjoy an Italian themed lunch whilst at the same time supporting a very worthy cause.

Fund Raising for St Andrew's - Thank you to everyone who supported our Boden Sale and the Tom Bowes concert.  The sale made £610 on the day, to which will be added the Boden commission in due course.  The final total is likely to exceed £1,000.  The Tom Bowes evening was also a great success and raised £805. for the Death Watch Beatle Fund.  Thanks also to all those who supported the Leicestershire Round Sponsored Walk.  Over 75 walkers really enjoyed what was a real community event.  Final figures yet to be announced.

Burton Overy Scarecrow Festival takes place on Saturday, the 29th, and Sunday, the 30th, June from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m.  There will be a sausage sizzle and teas in the Village Hall.  Please support this major fund raising event if you can.  If you can help make a scarecrow or staff the kitchen or one of the car parks or bake cakes for what will be a very big event, we would be very grateful for your help.  Please contact Robert Brown on 259 3184 or email cdalec20@gmail.com.

Patronal Festival Concert at Oadby - There will be a concert in St Peter's Church, Oadby on Saturday, 29th June, at 3 p.m. featuring the singer Joanne Lunn accompanied by Robert Foreman.  They will be joined by the Sixties Club Band and the varied programme of music will include a sing-along.  This will be followed by a cream tea.  Tickets available at the door or in advance from the Parish Office on 0116 272 0080 or email office@oadbyparishoffice.fsnet.co.uk   Tickets £12 (£10 unwaged).  Children free.

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).

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.

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 Overy and they will arrange one for you.

Humour is a gift – Written by an NHS medical secretary:  "On the second day the knee was better and on the third day it disappeared."

Please pray:-

·         For Jim Dunning, Laura Record, Peter Wood, John Spencer, Myra Humphrey, Judith Buffrey’s grandson Joel, Rachel Stevens, and all who are ill.

·         For the leaders who attended the G8 Summit that they may have made wise decisions particularly regarding Syria.

·         For all countries where there is conflict.

·         For all students sitting exams.

·         That the sun may shine on us all and enable the farmers' crops to grow.
