For those who are grieving for a loved one they have lost including the families and friends of Liz Selway, Sylvia Goss & Peter Welch.
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.
Bring and share benefice lunch in the Rectory garden
On Sunday 17th August church family from across the benefice are invited to the rectory garden for a summer 'bring and share' lunch. Bring some food / drink to share and a picnic chair if you have one. Come any time from 12noon and we'll begin eating around 12.30pm. If it's wet, we'll use the Mission Church. If you're up for it, we'll play some summer games!
Connections@theMission
On Thursday 21st August, you are welcome to join us for tea and conversation in the Mission Church. There will be a discussion about what gives you hope and helps you to have resilience to face the difficulties in life led by Jane Tompsett (Mission Church). Please bring a bible verse to share.
Coffee, chat and snacks August Break
Our weekly drop-in is taking a two week Summer break before starting again on Saturday 23rd August.
Children's / Youth Groups in August
During August, our Sunday children's groups will be taking a break 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.
Life Magazine
The August edition of Life will be available in our churches this Sunday. News and items from across the benefice including important information if you're a car driver. Please pick up your copy (priced 60p).
Accommodation Needed
Ana & Kevin are aware of a single man who is in need of accommodation in Street either in a shared house or a small one bedroomed flat. He is working and can afford to pay rent and would come highly recommended as a tenant. Please speak to Ana or Kevin if you could help or know of someone who could, thank you.
Sitting comfortably in the Mission Church?
We are exploring replacing the chairs in the Mission Church as the current ones are showing their age. You will see a number of options in the building which we have on loan to help us make a decision. Please try them out and let the church wardens know your preferences.
Benefice Service
Our next benefice service will be in Holy Trinity, Walton on Sunday 31st August at 10.30am. All are welcome as we join to worship as 4 churches. There will be no other services that day.
Advanced Notice - Bible Course
From the end of September on Tuesday evenings, we will be running the 'Bible Course' in the Mission Church, Street. A chance to dig deeper into the big narrative of the bible over this 8 week course. More details to follow but save the dates.
