****************************************

We are grateful to Rev’d Fiona Haines who is presiding and preaching today and to Canon Dick Cartmell who was with us last week. Both Fiona and Dick have become good friends to us and we are always pleased to welcome them to share in the ministry of St Nic’s.

Feast for the Nations: Last year we hosted this amazing event at St Nic’s. On Saturday a similar event will be held at the URC on Dronsfield Road to coincide with Refugee Week. We are invited to join in this free event and meet some new people from different parts of the world who are trying to settle in a new country. If you are able to prepare an international dish for the occasion, it will be gladly received on the day.

Loving God,
You sustain us with mercy and grace and call us to share the compassion we receive.
Help us to love as you want us to love: Not to ask ‘Who is my neighbour?’
But to see our neighbour in everyone we encounter and to offer help and hospitality when people are hurting.

In a world that can be rushed, give us patience and time to care.
In a world that can be harsh, help us to be kind.
In a world that can be fearful, make us bearers of hope.

We ask this in the name of Jesus our Lord, who came from heaven to earth, lived among us as a wanderer,
and offers salvation to all.

Please remember in your prayers: Jeff Chambers, Katie, Tony Ryan, Louise Clark, Mark Price, Dean, Debbie, Michael Carthy, Rev Jane Everett, Paul Sumner, Sandra, Tom, Michael and John McLellan. Please also remember the families and friends of Keith Ingham and Jean Laithwaite-Bond whose funerals are due to take place.
