News in the Pews

Sunday 17th March – Second of Lent

Collect for Today
Almighty God,
by the prayer and discipline of Lent may we enter into the mystery of Christ’s sufferings, and by following in his Way
come to share in his glory;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Post Communion Prayer

Almighty God,
you see that we have no power of ourselves to help ourselves:
keep us both outwardly in our bodies, and inwardly in our souls;
that we may be defended from all adversities which may happen to the body, and from all evil thoughts which may assault and hurt the soul; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Music Sale and Coffee Morning
30th March 10-12 St Cuthbert’s
     In memory of Martin Tacey
Martin left an extensive CD collection which was passed on to Roger Hughes, as there are far too many for him to enjoy; we thought it would be nice to do a coffee morning to raise funds for the church in Martin’s name. There will be 100s of CDs (if you have an CDs, cassettes or records yourself please do feel free to donate to the collection). We will sell the music on the morning along with coffee and cakes. All CDs will be 50p each. Even if you don’t want a CD please do join us for coffee.


Please Pray for:
Those who are ill:
·   Mollie Alexander
·   Margaret Bannister
·   Sue Burnham
·   Elizabeth Tacey
·   Andrew and Mary Porter
·   Maureen Snow
·   Baby Willow Coates
·   Christine Higgins
·   Kris Plant

Those who have died and their families: Sian Dobson

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."
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.. If you have any questions please ask Kim.


Bible Study evening
