Christian Aid Week 10th - 16th May – Thank you to all who have donated to Christian Aid. There is still time to make a donation and there are envelopes at the back of church. If you need someone to collect your gift, then please just let us know.
Coronavirus update w.e.f May 17th – Moving to the next step of the government’s road map this coming week makes very little difference to our existing procedures. Congregational singing is still prohibited and we are still waiting for clarification regarding serving refreshments. Whilst the limit at funerals has been removed, it is still limited to the socially distanced capacity of the church. We have 10 pews in use, which will accommodate a maximum of 10 family bubbles/households. Families will be asked to complete a seating plan prior to the funeral.
Annual General Meeting – As this meeting follows close on the heels of the last meeting, we will only be attending to the necessary legal requirements. There will be no reports from the PCC or group leaders. In the spirit of transparency, there will be an opportunity to ask any questions, seek clarification or to raise any concerns or joys, with the Vicar and members of the PCC.
100 Club

Please continue to pray …… for Elsie, Nigel, Jane, and Tom Boyd, Linda Edwards and Mandy Barling.
It is with much sadness that we learned that Alan Mather died on Saturday afternoon. Please remember him and his family in your prayers.
Ascension to Pentecost - Almost all the prayer journals we ordered have been distributed and if each person is praying for 5 others to come to faith, then that’s 350 new disciples!! We so hope that you are finding the content helpful in your daily discipline.
Overflowing God, breathe the spirit of Jesus into me and into all those who long for peace, especially those who have drifted from your way, got stuck in their faith, or who have not yet found a way to believe. You believe in them. Renew them by your Spirit. And today may your Church be filled with joy. Amen.
