Church picnics
Over the summer, we are organising some church picnics to follow three Sunday morning services in June, July and August. While the weather is nice (hopefully!), we thought it would be really good for us to have fun together as a church and get to know each other better. They will also be great opportunities to invite friends and family who might not yet be involved with church, so please be thinking and praying about who you might invite. Bring your own picnic and seating / blanket, and any outdoor activities or games we could play together. The dates and information are on the flyer below:
Pastoral Support
Dawn, our incumbent, is currently on Sabbatical, but in her absence, Ben, Livvi and the churchwardens, Helen and Matt, are very happy to meet with you if you have any pastoral needs or if anything from our services has prompted something you would like to discuss. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Contact details are at the bottom of this newsletter.
Weekly Services:
This Sunday, we will be continuing with our sermon series on ‘tough topics’, with Jackie Brooks-Cheeseman speaking on the topic of suffering.
There will be groups for all children in schools year 5 and below. Those in year 6 and above will remain in the service. 
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, 11am at the curates’ house.
Prayer Chain:
If you would like to send a prayer request to the prayer chain, or join the prayer chain, please contact Jackie Brooks Cheesman: jackiebrookscheesman@yahoo.co.uk
