Tuesday Holy Communion – The church car park is becoming increasingly busy on a Tuesday, which is a good thing. There is always unlimited and free parking on Highbury Avenue and to make access from that side easier, the church door on Highbury will be open on Tuesdays. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Public Notice – At the AGM the Vicar reported on our efforts to replace the windows on both sides of the church tower. This is a huge undertaking and has taken many meetings and planning to get to this stage. From Wednesday of last week we commenced a period of 30 days notice to give anyone in the church or the community the opportunity to object. Please do ask the Vicar or any member of the PCC for further details. And do pray that this project will be allowed to proceed.

Church Maintenance Fellowship We really need to get together a small group of people who will meet together regularly to plan and undertake general maintenance of the church and church grounds. Could you trim the bushes? Could you cement the paving stone that’s loose? Could you reattach the downpipes? Could you unblock the drains that take the water from the roof? Could you brew up? Could you clean the windows at ground level?   <span style="font-size: 1rem;">It’s important that we get on top of these jobs otherwise they will morph into expensive problems. Brian Pendlebury has kindly offered to head this up for us. There’s a sheet at the back of church if you’re interested in hearing more.</span>

Please continue to pray …… for Elsie, Nigel, Jane, Margaret and Tom. Pray for Ethan and his family as he is baptized today.

Loving Father, you sent us your Son Jesus to be the way, the truth and the life. You gave us your Holy Spirit to guide us and fill us with Christ’s love. You are one God, three Persons! Help us to share more deeply in your boundless love as the Trinity. May our church family be a reflection of that love. We make this prayer in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen
