It feels like the holidays have begun this week, with this warm weather and hearing children playing in the park.

As many of you know I will be away this Sunday and because of the holidays we have cancelled August’s Family service.

This does mean that the service that we normally have at 8.00 am at St James will be the only service offered this Sunday the 4th and it will be a service of the word (not BCP and not a communion service).

Judith will be taking this with Janet and Rosemary doing readings and Intercessions.

I hope you will find this service interesting and uplifting, and I do look forward to seeing you all again on the 11th at either St James at 9.30 am or St Mary’s, Gilston at 11.15 am.

We will also be having a baptism for Reginald and Mabel at St James at 2.30 pm.

To slightly paraphrase Ephesians reading (attached):-

‘May you lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness.

Enjoy your week.

Every blessing

Alison
