There is a comprehensive list in our Prayer Corner at the side of the organ for all those we wish to pray for.
A prayer for our interregnum for us all to use regularly.
A vital point that we can all participate in prayer during this time:
Loving God, as we journey together through this period of interregnum,
let us look to the journey of our Patron, St Mary Magdalene, for inspiration:
As she and the other disciples walked alongside Christ, give us joy in each other,
as we share responsibility for our church and our community
and may the gift of interregnum be a period of deeper love and fellowship.
As she stood at the foot of the Cross give us courage to face our future and embrace the unknown.
As she waited and watched by the Tomb give us patience to wait and wisdom to live and trust in the waiting.
As she witnessed Christ in the stillness of early morning grant that we may witness his presence with us at all times
and let us look forward to rejoicing in that presence with our new Vicar. Amen

| Three Peaks Challenge Congratulations to Robin Burgess and his team from Roche Diagnostics who succeeded in conquering the Three Peaks on Thursday. It was challenging both mentally and physically but the result of amazing sponsorship of £10,000 will aid the UK charity Action for Children. There is still time to donate! Go to: https://uk.virginmoneygiving. Family Support Work There are copies of the Spring Newsletter from FSW on the table. Please take one as there are details of events particularly Gardens Open - all will help to continue the work of FSW which does such valuable work amongst those in the Diocese less fortunate than ourselves. Interregnum The wardens and our clergy have made some revisions to the service pattern for the ensuing months of our interregnum. There are hard copies available in church but please check our website for any last minute changes. We ask for your support and patience. Please help by being vigilant Some churches in the Diocese have experienced recent break-ins and metal theft. If you see anything untoward in or around church, please report it to the police and notify the churchwardens. Plastic milk bottle tops Please continue to save your plastic milk bottle tops and drop them in the bin in church (washed!) They raise funds for the Chestnut Tree Children's Hospice resources. It is worth noting that these tops cannot be recycled in your wheelie bin. |
