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.


To All at St Cuthbert's, St Andrew's and St Mary's, I want to wish all of you a New Year full of God's very best.  Whatever this year holds and whatever comes your way, I pray that you will always know the love and peace of God surrounding you through the joys and the sorrows.  You are in my thoughts and prayers as we all journey into 2016 together.  Many blessings now and always, Kim.

NOTICES

NEW YEAR NEW VISION for the congregations at St Cuthbert's.  We will be welcoming Rev Dr Stuart Burns on the 20th February to come and help us look to what the future holds (details to follow shortly).  We will start with where we've come from and look towards where we feel the Lord is leading us.  Please mark this date in your diary so that we can journey into what the Lord would have for us together.
 

THE NEW BISHOP OF LEICESTER is to be the Rt Revd Martyn Snow, currently Bishop of Tewkesbury.  The Bishop will be installed in Spring 2016. 

THE FLOWER LADIES thank everyone who kindly gave donations for the Christmas flowers.   Your generosity is much appreciated. 

LADIES NIGHT OUT is 7.30pm on Wednesday January 20th 2016 at Oadby’s Grange Farm Pub. Please e-mail or ring me, if I don’t see you at church, to book your place. Thank you. Carole Henson hensonc@talk21.com  Tel. 0116 2403368 

GREETINGS CARDS  Please do have a look at the cards in church which are for sale.  There are several new ones.  Mother’s Union cards are priced at cost and that money goes towards funding Mother’s Union projects around the world. There are other cards in a separate box which are either handmade or from redundant stock for which we would appreciate a voluntary donation for church funds.
 

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 Bannister, Elizabeth Tacey, Colin Lacey, Paul Amos, Martin Tacey, Christine Higgins, Alan Selway, 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
·         victims and families of the floods in Northern England and Scotland as they recover from the storm damage to their homes
·         the people in drought stricken Ethiopia
