Last Sunday Collection
This Sunday, being the last in the calendar month, all our giving in the open plate will be ringfenced for our current away giving campaign in support of Water Aid.
Confirmations/Receptions
The Bishop will be with us next Sunday – Sunday 5 July – to confirm one candidate and to receive two others from our congregation. After the service there will be a celebration lunch in the hall. Please turn out ‘en force’ for this important moment in our church calendar. Bobby Burgon has informed the new Bishop that we are “the best kept secret in the Diocese”. Let’s not disappoint him!!!
Training for Confirmation/Reception candidates
To help our candidates to get the most out of the forthcoming confirmation/reception service Jackie and I are planning a training session in the church hall on Tuesday 30 June from 11 am until 12.30 pm.
Tin Can Collection for Ukraine
In addition to our 6 other congregational collections in support of excellent charities Vestry has agreed to support a further collection for an equally excellent cause – Ukraine. In conjunction with St Nicholas Parish Church we would like to ask you to save and bring in used, cleaned and de-labelled tin cans and pop them in the box in the Memorial Chapel. These will be collected by Isobel Malcolm and taken to St Nicholas, where they will be sent to Ukraine to be turned into candle holding heaters for Ukrainians who find themselves homeless and cold as a result of the ongoing war with Russia.
Our Current Away Giving Campaign.
In this quarter of the year we are collecting money for Water Aid. Please give as generously as you possible can to this very worthy cause.
Broth & Blether
Our Curate Jackie has left a new Broth & Blether soup rota on the table at the back of the church. If you’d like to contribute to this very successful outreach project at The Blue Triangle please add your name to the sign up sheet. Thank you in advance.
The Clanking Stank!!
As I type, the clanking stank, which has caused quite a bit of noise pollution and prayer disruption at Christ Church for some time, is being repaired as I type. Fingers crossed they remove the three way traffic lights before Sunday!
