Dawn’s Leaving Service

This Sunday (2nd August), Revd Dawn will be having her final church service with us, as a final goodbye before leaving for pastures new. Please join us to celebrate Dawn and everything God has done for this church over the last six years. We will also be having our church picnic straight after the service on Glenvale Green. Please join us for this if you are able! You’re welcome to bring your own picnic and some of the families, co-ordinated by Racheal Adeliyi, have kindly offered to provide some food that the church can share in too if you wish.

No Tuesday prayer meeting next week

Ben and Livvi will be away on annual leave next week, so there will not be our usual prayer meeting at 10am on Tuesday 4th August. The prayer meeting will reconvene the following week on Tuesday 11th August at Ben and Livvi’s house. Please get in touch with them if you would like to join.

Weekly Services:

This Sunday, we will be having our All Age Cafe Service, looking at God’s faithfulness over the years Reverend Dawn Airey has been with us. The service will accommodate all ages.

Midweek Service at Glenvale Care Home:

Parish Prayer:

There are two opportunities to pray together as a parish each week:

1) Sunday mornings from 9.45am in the glass pod off the corridor at Glenvale School.

2) Tuesday mornings, 10am at the curates’ house. (No prayer meeting on Tuesday 4th August – restarting Tuesday 11th August.)

Prayer Chain:

If you would like to send a prayer request to the prayer chain, or join the prayer chain, email or WhatsApp group, please contact Jackie Brooks Cheesman: jackiebrookscheesman@yahoo.co.uk

Giving:

Thank you to you all for your sacrificial giving. Our recommended route for regular giving is the Parish Giving Scheme (PGS) and there is a letter on the welcome table at church with the details. However, people are welcome to give in whatever way suits them and please consider gift aiding your contribution so that the church receives an extra 25%.
