Roof Repairs: Due to your amazing generosity, for which we are incredibly grateful, we have been able to complete the work at the top of the tower. The scaffolding has been adjusted to enable the next stage of repairs to commence this coming week. It will include the removal and replacement of some of the copper sheets, which will involve much knocking and banging, therefore, until further notice the church will not be open for private prayer mid-week. The banging will cease for our Tuesday communion! We are so very grateful to the band of helpers who diligently sit each morning to make the church available to the community. If this is something you can help with going forward, then please see Karen.
Larkholme School: Is setting up a Christmas Shop to enable the parents of their pupils who are on a limited budget to buy gifts, toys, stationery, puzzles, and games for a small donation. If you are able to buy a small gift when you are out and about and pop it unwrapped in the box at the back of church – we’ll make sure it gets to school in good time for this super initiative. Sincere thanks.
Christmas Fair 3rd December 10-2 pm: At the back of church there is a list of ways you can help, before, after and during the Fair, please sign up this week. As always, we’re relying on your generosity to help us provide quality prizes for the raffle, items for the Bottle Bola or if it's easier, a monetary donation which we can use towards the cash prize on the day.
Remembrance Sunday: Next week as in previous years, we will enact our own mark of remembrance during the 10.45 service. The service at the cenotaph in the Memorial Park will commence at 10.45 also and is being led by our very own Phil Deegan.
God of justice and peace, we pray for those who have been injured or disabled through war.
For those who have lost homes and security through conflict; for those who have lost loved relatives in wars;
for those who face danger and take risks for peace; for all those, especially children, caught up in current conflicts; for refugees and all those in need of aid and other help.
God of encouragement and Saviour of the despairing, comfort those who remember past sacrifices
and guide us in building a just and peaceful community for all. Amen.
100 Club – Winners last week were Barbara Quirk, Richard Quirk and Cath & Geoff Chambers
