News in the pews


Sunday 3rd March – Next before Lent


Collect for Today
you know the disorder of our sinful lives:
set straight our crooked hearts, and bend our wills to love your goodness and your glory in Jesus Christ our Lord.



Post Communion Prayer
we see your glory in the face of Jesus Christ:
may we who are partakers at his table reflect his life in word and deed, that all the world may know his power to change and save.
This we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Church Electoral Roll –
St Cuthbert’s
Every six years we have to totally renew our church electoral roll, this is one of those years. All names are taken off the roll and are only put on if you fill in the form. So if you would like to be on the church electoral roll please pick up a form at the back of the church and give it to Helen Dartnall, or place in the blue folder at the back of church. All forms must be in by the 17th March, a big thank you to all who have already filled them in. 


Lent Course
This year will be a 6 week course and we will be following the TV series called 'Broken.' 
“The series focuses on Michael Kerrigan (Sean Bean), the priest of a Roman Catholic parish in a northern English city, who despite suffering from his own troubles stemming from a traumatic childhood, tries to guide several of his most vulnerable parishioners through the trials and tribulations of everyday life."
The course will start on the 4th and 6th March, we will watch an episode and have a discussion to follow.
There will be two choices, Monday nights or Wednesday afternoons. Monday nights will start on the 4th March at 7pm for 6 consecutive weeks at 6 Hilltop Ave. Wednesday afternoons will start on the 6th March at 1:30pm for 6 consecutive weeks at the Methodist Church. Please sign up for one or the other so we have an idea of numbers for each venue. If you have any questions please ask Kim.

There will be no more sessions of the above group until  after Easter.
