Hymn of Adoration
after the distribution of Holy Communion
Calm me, Lord, as you calmed the storm;
Still me, Lord, keep me from harm.
Let all the tumult within me cease,
Enfold me, Lord, in your peace.
Brian House Coffee Morning Wow! Massive thanks to Dorothy, Jillian and Carole who hosted our special coffee morning on the 14th and provided the delicious homemade fayre. With your support we raised and amazing £217 for the children’s hospice. Thank you to all who attended and gave so generously.
Sea Shanty Evening Another first for St Nic’s and what a fabulous night! Well done and massive thanks to Alan Newton and our fabulous events team, Joanne, David and Karen for all the preparation and planning that happened before the event and on the night itself. The band was excellent. One hundred and twenty portions of fish and chips from Shakies, served hot and delicious. Lots of new faces joined us from the around the town. And it’s looking like, after expenses, we raised approximately £1500 to kick start our ‘Tower Fund’. Great fun and thank you to all those who supported it in any way.
Tower Fund We have been working hard behind the scenes on our next phase of restoring St Nic’s. This now involves replacing some of the most worn bricks in the tower, substantial re-pointing and the insertion of some new cavity trays to redirect any water ingress. From Monday we enter into a 30-day public consultation period and assuming no objections are received we can move to the final phase of approval for the work to proceed in principle. The cost at the moment is in the region of £120,000 and we are going to need significant assistance in paying for this. In addition to making numerous grant applications, we will need to be imaginative in reaching out to the town to help us. With this in mind it would be good to form a small fund-raising team to direct our thinking. Is this something that you could help with? Are you knowledgeable in the area of social media and crowd funding? Please prayerfully consider it and then speak to the Vicar.
Please remember in your prayers: Jeff Chambers, Katie, Louise Clark, Mark Price, Dean, Debbie, Michael Carthy, Rev Jane Everett, Paul Sumner, Sandra Pratt, Tom, Michael, John McLellan and David Goodman. Please also remember the families and friends of Jean Laithwaite-Bond, Ian Robinson, Kathleen Unwin and Margaret Rigby, whose funerals are due to take place.
