For your prayers
For those going to New Wine by the week or the day. For the situation in the Middle East and for the Ukraine. For all those in our churches who are unwell, recovering from surgery or undergoing treatment, including Michael Bell, Caroline Fulton, Christine Wright, Bob Lampert & Yvonne Guerin. For those who are grieving for a loved one they have lost including the families and friends of Liz Selway, Sylvia Goss & Peter Welch.
Welcome back to Imogen
We welcome Immy (Mission Church) back from her mission trip to South America with Latin Link. We will be hearing more about this in the service at the Mission Church this Sunday.
Walton Garden Gate Sale
Why not pop across to Holy Trinity, Walton today to take part in the sale. Starting at 10am, you can pick up a map and find bargains around the village. There will, of course, be cake!
Praying for our benefice - 5 minutes at 5pm each Sunday
We have introduced a regular time of prayer for the church family to pray for the benefice. The idea is that at 5pm every Sunday, wherever you are, whatever you're doing, take 5 minutes to pause and pray in the silence or aloud, as you feel comfortable. Prayer flyer sheets are enclosed with Lifeline and are also available at the back of church and on our website.
Liz Selway's funeral service
Liz Selway's funeral service will be taking place on Tuesday 5th August at 12 noon in Holy Trinity, Walton. Please pray particularly for Liz's family and for the church family at Holy Trinity, Walton as they grieve for Liz.
Young People Pizza, Chat & Games
We will next be meeting on Monday 28th July 6.30 - 7.30pm in the Mission Church. Come along and enjoy chat, pizza and games, indoors and outdoors. This is open to all young people in year 6 and above.
New Parish Safeguarding Officer
We are looking for a new parish safeguarding officer, with a primary focus on the Mission Church, to join our existing team. If your usual place of worship is the Mission Church and you would like to know more, please contact either Ana or one of the current parish safeguarding officers, Jenny Martin (Parish Church Street), Pauline Hatrey (Walton), Steve King (Compton Dundon). You can find their contact details in Life magazine or on our noticeboards.
Children's / Youth Groups in August
Our Sunday children's groups will be taking a break in August and on those Sundays when there would normally be groups in the Mission Church, there will be special children's activities on a large table in the church. Likewise Little Stars and our Monday evening youth games, pizza and chat sessions will be taking a break during August. All groups will re-start in September. Please pray for those who lead our children and young people's work as they take a well-earned break. We would always love to hear from people who would like to join these teams.
