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
CHURCH CLEAN UP DAY FOR ST CUTHBERT'S, 18th of July starting at 9:30 am.  We need you, whether you're good in the garden or like to sort out cupboards and organise spaces, we need your help.  We want to have a good clean out and need as many as possible to do it.  We thought it would also be nice to have a bring and share lunch so that once we've cleaned we can have a meal together.  So come and join us if you can!

TABLE TOP SALE - We are looking to do a table top sale on Saturday August 29th for a maximum of fifteen tables in the front garden of the Vicarage.  Each table will be £10.00; any profit from what you sell you may keep.  It is a good way in which to sell unwanted items no longer needed and raise funds for our Church.  Please contact David Graves on 01162714420 if you would like to book a table.

BISHOP TIM STEVENS’ FAREWELL SERVICE -Saturday July 11th 2015 at 3.00 p.m.  A service will take place in Leicester Cathedral to bid farewell to Bishop Tim.  Doors open from 2.00 p.m. followed by a party with music and refreshments in Cathedral Gardens, concluding at 7.30 p.m.  There are no reserved seats or tickets.  Clergy and readers do not robe.  Parking is recommended at NCP St Nicholas Circle Leicester, LE1 4LF as none is available at St Martins House.  Limited public blue-badge parking is also available off Applegate.  If you wish to make a donation to Bishop Tim’s farewell gift, your cheque should be made payable to LDBF and marked on the reverse ‘Bishop Tim Retirement’, to Finance Dept, LDBF, St Martins House, 7 Peacock Lane, Leicester LE1 5PZ

BIBLE STUDY HOUSE GROUP - 21st July .  We shall be looking at the Gospel of John, Chapter 5.   Do come if you are interested.

HOPE AGAINST CANCER  - Tracey Gregson of Burton Overy is taking part in the 2015 cycle challenge Geneva to Milan - 360 miles in 4 days, but more demanding than the distance is an ascent of 17,000ft!  If you wish to sponsor Tracey, please visit her giving page  uk.virginmoneygiving.com  You have probably seen Tracey cycling in this area - she is very fit.

WHY NOT put an extra can or packet in your shopping basket to bring to church services.  St Cuthbert’s supports Leicester Cathedral’s Welcome Group for destitute asylum seekers and St Andrew’s supports a homeless charity.  Suggestions: rice, pasta (mainly spaghetti), oil, sugar, tea, coffee, tinned goods (tomatoes, fruit, meat, fish, baked beans and sweet corn), shampoo, shower-gel, toothpaste, deodorants, shaving cream/gel.

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.

KEEPING PEOPLE IN TOUCH – Please do take copies of this news-sheet to anyone you know who might be interested, especially to those who can’t get to church at the moment.

Please pray for:-

·         Margaret Wood, Peter Wood, Heather Alexander, Margaret Bannister,  Alan Selway, Elizabeth Tacey, Colin Lacey, Paul Amos, Martin Tacey, Phyllis Stanley and all who are ill. 

·         the people in Ukraine, Syria, Iraq, and Gaza, and all other places of conflict in the world, that peace may return.

·         the people of Nepal who are still suffering following the devastating earthquake.

·         the victims of the Tunisian massacre and their families

·         the soles of David Sellicks, Susan (Bloom) Rosenbloom and Robert Spencer whose funerals were held recently.
