Collect for Today
Merciful God,
teach us to be faithful in change and uncertainty,
that trusting in your word
and obeying your will
we may enter the unfailing joy of Jesus Christ our Lord.

Post Communion Prayer
God of all grace,
your Son Jesus Christ fed the hungry
with the bread of his life
and the word of his kingdom:

sustain us by your true and living bread;
who is alive and reigns, now and for ever.

NOTICES
  
The Bishop’s Big Conversation the first weekend in November.
The weekend with the Bishop is a time where we can share our faith with our communities. It is a time to come out of the church and share with others the love of God. So I hope that many of you will join in some of the activities across the weekend and bring along any friends that might want to know it bit more about who God is or why things are happening in our world. No question is too big or too small to ask.

So here is what the weekend will hold:

Friday- 1st Nov
9:00-12:30 St Cuthbert’s School assembly, question time and lunch.
2:00-3:30 Tea & Cake with the Bishop in the village hall in Great Glen. This event is aimed specifically for those who are 60+
4:30 Free Tea and coffee to be served to those waiting for Fish and Chips. The Bishop will be open to answer any questions.



7:15-8:15 Royal Oak, free drink for those in the pub who would like to engage the Bishop with questions that might have.
8:15-10:00 Pug and Greyhound, free drinks again for those in the pub with questions for the Bishop

Saturday- 2nd Nov
9:00-10:15 am Breakfast Buffet at the Pug and Greyhound. Cost is £10 a head but this one is a very specific event. The idea is that if you buy a ticket you will be given a free ticket to bring someone with you who is not a Christian, someone who would like to know more about who God is. There will be breakfast with the Bishop and his team having conversations around the table as we enjoy the meal and then the Bishop will give a short word at the end of the time there.
10:30-12:00 Story time with the Bishop for toddlers and young children in the Community Library. There will be stories, crafts, tea and coffee.
3:30 pm tea and cakes in Burton Overy village hall at 3:30 pm.


Sunday 3rd Nov
The Bishop and his team will be joining us for both services.
9:00 am at Carlton Curlieu and       
10:30 am at Great Glen. We will have a bring and share lunch after the 10:30 service so please do sign up to bring some food to share. It will be a great way to finish our weekend together.

As you can imagine this is going to take a team effort so please do think about what events you can help at and how you can be a part of this exciting adventure of sharing God’s kingdom with our neighbours and friends. There is a sign up sheet at the back of church please have a thing about how you can join in.

If you have a friend to bring to breakfast on the 2nd of November please buy your tickets from Kim or give her a call on 259 2238
