Sunday 26th June - TRINITY 2
REFUGEE SUNDAY
Quick Links: Collect & Readings | Weekend | Temporary Closure | Volunteer | Ukraine | Diary | Readings
We come to be changed, not to stay the same. This is perhaps exciting and scary in equal measure.
On this Refugee Sunday we continue to pray for change in our hearts, in the world and for wisdom for our government.
The Collect
The prayer for the week
Lord, you have taught us
that all our doings without love are nothing worth:
send your Holy Spirit
and pour into our hearts that most excellent gift of love,
the true bond of peace and of all virtues,
without which whoever lives is counted dead before you.
Grant this for your only Son Jesus Christ’s sake,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Readings for this Sunday: Gal. 5: 1, 13-25, Psalm 16 & Luke 9: 51-end.
This weekend:
8:00am BCP Holy Communion at St Mary’s
9:30am Holy Communion at St Thomas’
11:15am Mattins at St Mary’s
11:15am Holy Communion at St Andrew’s
4:30pm Pizza and Bible discussion for all the family
5:00pm Discoverers
Temporary closure of St Thomas’
As part of the organ restoration St Thomas’ will be closed from after the 10:30am service on 29th June until Saturday 9th July.
So on Sunday 3rd July:
-
The 8am service will take place in the Canterbury Room
-
The 9:30am service will be in the Vicarage Garden (if the weather is good, if not in the Canterbury Room). This means we will need helpers to set up for the service in the Vicarage Garden so please contact Ben with offers of help.
-
4pm Evensong will be in St Mary’s
The Wednesday 6th July 10:30am service will be in the Canterbury Room.
Volunteer letter writer needed for grant applications
We need to replace the projector in the Canterbury Room with a new digital screen which will hugely improve things for Pick a Flick and other users of this great facility.
Grant bodies are much more willing to give to this sort of thing than anything religious! So we need a volunteer to chase a few grants for this and other upgrades for the Canterbury room (such as better blinds).
Can you help? Please contact Ben.
DEC collection - Ukraine
This Refugee Sunday (26th June) there will be a collection for the DEC appeal for Ukraine if you wish to contribute in this way rather than online.
