Sunday 8th
March – Second Sunday of Lent
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.
Amen
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.
Amen

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
From Rev Kim –
A
letter from me was given out. The letter is still available from the church. Or
you can 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 kimberleykford@aim.com
