that all who are estranged by sin may find forgiveness and know your peace,
to the glory of God the Father.
Amen

Prayers this week
For Amelie Pillar , Eugenia Connelly, Janet Lloyd, June Newman, Ian Rawlinson, Barbara Ferris, Jennifer Lewis and Frances Butler - we remember all who care for them.
For our church family members:
Carole Penrose and Guy, Annie & Max Rees
Mission this month: Beaconsfield Advisory Centre
Please pray for the Beaconsfield Advisory Centre (BAC) and all it’s advisors and drivers.
Pray for wisdom, patience and appropriate knowledge for the advisors as they listen and guide the clients.
The clients have many different needs from housing, benefit applications, transport and sometimes just a listening ear. Pray that through their encounter with BAC they feel that they are cared for and know the love of God.
There is a need for more advisors and for drivers to take clients to medical appointments. Pray for people with the right skills to volunteer so that the service may continue.
Happy Birthday to Joyce Salmon

Children’s Work
In the coming months we’ll be thinking about how we can grow and enhance our Sunday children’s work… It is important that as many church members as possible are involved in growing the faith of our children. If you are interested in being a part of this ministry in the future, and our initial discussions, please let Lloyd know. Thank you!
Starting this week, the Dove Café is now closed on Sundays.
Please join us for the Annual Parochial Church meeting (APCM) on Sunday 24 May at 11.30am at St Mary’s Church (Fitzwilliams Centre) after the 10am Team service. The APCM is a good opportunity to review the past year together as Team churches, including the presentation of the PCC Annual Report & Accounts for 2025 and to look to Team priorities for the future. Sharon will chair the meeting. The papers have been circulated this week and copies of the agenda and a copy of the annual report are available at the back of the church.
Lloyd will be off on Wednesday 20th May.

Reminders & Events
This Sunday 17 May we will be welcoming Sharon to St Thomas's for the final time as Rector of Beaconsfield. She will be preaching and presiding at communion for us. At midday, there will be a shared lunch in the church building to share in fellowship and say our own goodbyes to Sharon. Please be ready to bring along a dish if you can make it.
Sharon's Retirement - Sunday 31st May
Sharon's final day in the parish before retirement is Sunday 31st May and she hopes as many people as possible from across the Team churches will be free to join her for refreshments in the St Michael's church hall, at any time from around 11.30 (and extending into the early afternoon). Sharon says this will be very informal so there is no need to RSVP, it would just be lovely to see everyone who can make it at some stage. If you can also come to her final service at St Michael's, at the usual time of 10am that day, that would be marvellous too. All are welcome!
Our Easter Candle this year is donated in loving memory of Brian Williams.
