Sunday 1st
March – First Sunday of Lent
Heavenly
Father,
your
Son battled with the powers of darkness,
and
grew closer to you in the desert:
help
us to use these days to grow in wisdom and prayer
that
we may witness to your saving love
in
Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen
Post
Communion Prayer
Lord
God,
you
have renewed us with the living bread from heaven;
by
it you nourish our faith,
increase
our hope,
and
strengthen our love:
teach
us always to hunger for him who is the true and living bread,
and
enable us to live by every word
that
proceeds from out of your mouth;
through
Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen

NOTICES
This
week:-
World Day of Prayer will be held in the Methodist Church on 6th March at
2.15 pm
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.

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.

Meditation

group will now cease to meet till after Easter to give flexibility
