*******************************
Summer Afternoon Tea – On Saturday 22nd July at 2 pm we are holding this special event for the first time with entertainment in the Church Hall. The entertainment is being provided courtesy of the good people of St Nic’s, so we look forward to hearing from anyone who would like to contribute by way of singing, dancing, comedy, playing the spoons, reading a monologue or whatever is your thing! Please see David to book your slot. Tickets are available from Joanne or Clare and cost £5 or, £7 if you would prefer a ‘fizz upgrade’. It’s sure to be a fun filled afternoon, good food, good entertainment and good company.
Don’t miss out and why not bring some friends?
Sea Sunday – Next Sunday we will be hosting this annual event in St Nic’s with a host of dignitaries and other organisations joining us at our 10.45 service. Every year churches around the world celebrate Sea Sunday. It is a day for people to come together to pray for seafarers and fishers, and thank them for the vital role they play in all of our lives. They often work in difficult, hazardous conditions. In the last year, more crews have been abandoned by their employers than ever before. Many are still being denied the right to leave their ships for even a short break away from the relentless noise and pressure onboard. Many are reporting more stress and poorer mental health. So it’s right that we should set this time aside to acknowledge all that they contribute but also pray for their well-being too.
O God, as we remember that Your Son called His disciple, Peter, to come to Him upon the waters,
we pray now for all those whose labour is upon the seas. In times of loneliness, show them
that You are never far away; in times of peril be their protection; in times of temptation
be their strength, and when they stumble and fall give them penitence and pardon, peace and hope.
Through Jesus Christ our lord. AMEN.
Please also remember in your prayers: Peter Dell, Rev Jane Everitt, Rev Martin Keighley, Elizabeth King, Chris Kelsall, Michaela Jones, Mark Price, Callum Boyle, Tony Hardman and John Hawley. And the families of Valerie Kettle, Ted Greaves, David Dobson, Baby Maeva and Joyce Allcock whose funerals are due to take place.
