news in the pews


Sunday 8th September – Twelfth Sunday of Trinity

Collect for Today
God of constant mercy,
who sent your Son to save us:
remind us of your goodness,
increase your grace within us,
that our thankfulness may grow,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Post Communion Prayer
God of all mercy,
in this eucharist you have set aside our sins

NOTICES


Ride & Stride - Saturday 14th September at All Churches
We can all help to raise some money for the church on this day.  Sponsor forms are now in all the churches for this event which is organised every year by the Leicestershire Historic Churches Trust.  Nearly every church door in Leicester and Leicestershire will be open on this day, including Great Glen, Burton Overy and Carlton Curlieu.  You can cycle ride or walk around as many churches as you like.  Please support the day in some way - cycling, walking, or manning our own churches and of course sponsoring any who are riding or striding. All money raised is shared  equally between the church of your choice and the Historic Churches Trust in Leicestershire which gives grants to churches to help with restoration costs

Ride and Stride Help
I am looking for people to 'meet and greet' all those who will be participating in this event. There is a list on the table for anyone to add their name who are able to sit in church for one hour, offer visitors a drink and biscuit (this will be provided) and sign their sponsor form.. Many thanks, Carol Neal.

A personal thank you from Kim: Dear All, Thank you so much for your continuing prayer as I await my surgery. I am sorry for the rolling coaster ride that ensued during this time of waiting and hoping. As far as I know the surgery is planned for Thursday morning around 9 am. If for some reason it does not happen again I will return and wait until it can be more certain.
Thank you all for your love, care, prayers and patience during this time. Every blessing Kim
