Sunday 23rd
February – Sunday Next Before Lent
Holy
God,
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.
Amen
Holy
God, 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.
Amen

NOTICES
This
week:-
Lent Course starting THIS Monday evening 24th Feb at
7:00 pm and THIS Wednesday 26th Feb at 1:30 pm. We will be going through a study that goes with the movie the ‘Greatest
Showman.’ There are 5 weeks of studies but we will be starting a week early
with a bring and share dinner on the Monday and a bring and share lunch on the
Wednesday. On those days we will eat and watch the movie as a social but with
the idea that it will help us see the overall picture of the movies message

Harwood’s house and the Wednesday’s at St Cuthbert’s.

Each
year the service is put together by a different country and this year it is the
women of Zimbabwe who have taken on this task. As we participate in this
service we will be part of a wave of prayer encircling the globe. It is an open
invitation for all to come to God’s table to pray throughout 120 countries and
islands around the world commencing as the sun rises over Samoa and ending 38
hours later back in the Pacific as the sun sets once more.
Refreshments
will be served in the hall after the service. We look forward to greeting you.
Please

Annual
Diocesan Vocations Day, 14th March at St Martin’s House, 9:45 am
If you have ever thought about doing something more
for the Lord, this is a great day to explore what ministries there are in the
Church of England. It doesn’t always mean doing ministry full time but can
incorporate many different aspects of missional life within the community, i.e.
Readers, pioneers, pastoral assistants, evangelists, children and youth
workers. So if you are interested in having a look at any of these ministries
please let Kim or Sarah know or simply book yourself a place by calling Mission
and Ministry on 0116 264 5317 or email them on mmbookings@leccofe.org. The day will include seminars and a free lunch with talks from Bishop
Guli and chats with those who have been in ministry for around our diocese.
There is no commitment to signing up for anything just come and have a look.
APCM
29th March after the 10:45 am service at 12:00 pm, this is our
annual general meeting. It would be great to have as many
as possible to join us on the day. It will be a bring and share meal so we can
have fellowship together and chat through the next step for us as a benefice.
There are some changes ahead so please sign up so we know how many are coming.
Letter-
Today a letter from me has gone out. If you haven’t made the services today the
letter is available from the church or email me and I will send it to you via
email. It is important that all of you receive it so please make sure you have
a copy. Thank you! Kim
