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
TODDLER
CAFE NEEDS YOU! Could you spare 1½ hours on a Wednesday morning? We
are looking for volunteers who would like to read a story or do a craft
and also for those willing to make coffee. We have about 6 families at the
moment and new ones are coming each week. If you would like to be a part of
this lively group please contact Kim on 2592238 or email me at
kimberleykford@aim.com
PENTECOST
- As you have seen in the notices the Archbishops
have called us to prayer over the week leading up to Pentecost. I have
asked Garry Bedford to create some prayer stations for us at St Cuthbert's. He
has planned to do 4 stations around the theme of the Lord's prayer. The idea is
to have the church open between 10 am - 2 pm on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and
Saturday May 11-14. Also from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm Wed, Thurs and Friday for
those who work. For this to work we will need to have volunteers to be in the
church for those hours. I have placed a sign up sheet at the back of the church
so if you are willing to do one or two hours during that time please sign up.
You won't be required to do anything other than welcome people and show them
where the stations are. Each station will have instructions on it to
explain what to do. Please do come and join us in prayer during those 4 days.
If you have any questions please see Kim. To finish that week we will be
joining St Peter's in Oadby to celebrate Pentecost with Bishop John Smiley of
Wyoming.
ASCENSION
DAY TOWER SERVICE May 5th - 7.30 AM- an early start with a service at St
Andrew, Burton Overy - at the top of the tower if you have a head for heights,
or at ground level for those less brave! This is followed by bacon baps,
tea and coffee at The Springs, Carlton Lane.
TIME
OF QUIET PRAYER AND MEDITATION, 11th May 3.30 to 4.30pm. at 20, Kingfisher
