Early Birds need YOUR HELP
Early Birds meet from 9am to 9.45am on the first Sunday of the Month in the CCRC, for families with very young children. After many years of organising the refreshments (tea, coffee, biscuits) Beth Humphries has decided it is time to pass the 'tea pot' to someone else. Thank you so much Beth for all your help over the years, you are a Star.
If you can spare 1 hour on the first Sunday each month to help with refreshments that would be wonderful. Please contact Xandie on: xandiebutler@gmail.com

Prayer for the Time of Vacancy: Gracious God, you are always with us. We thank you for guiding us by your Spirit through our life together as church. We pray that we may hear your voice in this time of vacancy. Give us patience, vision and courage as we seek a new priest and as we become a more Christ-like church, for the sake of God’s world: contemplative, compassionate and courageous. In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
