QUESTIONS! QUESTION! Will begin on Thursday 26th May and will take place each week for most of June and July (we will arrange the precise dates when we get started on 26th ).
Questions! Questions! is a series of sessions, led by Murray, which will help you explore and consider the heart of the Christian faith. It is suitable for people who would like to be Confirmed and anyone who would like to think a bit more about their faith. It would be great to have a good number of people coming along to this Q Q series, especially those who have more recently joined St Paul’s.
EASTER AT ST PAUL’S - PRAYER STATIONS
Jana will be setting up some prayer stations this week for people to come into church and spend some time in quiet prayer & reflection. Please check the notices for group activities and work out the best times to come, when church will be at its most peaceful.
EASTER EGGS FOR ROUNDABOUT If you would like to give an Easter Egg for the homeless young people at Roundabout, there is a box at the front of church. Your gifts are much appreciated. Thank you.
M. U. IN MAY Because it clashes with the Prayer Day at Warmsworth, M.U. will not be meeting on May 11th. Instead, they will be meeting the week before on May 4th, when Mary Sheldon will talk about Mother Theresa.
CHRISTIAN AID WEEK 15th – 21st MAY 2011 Thank you to all last year’s helpers; St Paul’s collected £1,303.43. Please keep this week free and get involved.

Helen will contact last year’s helpers to confirm availability for this year.
SPRING CLEANING We will be organising a Spring Cleaning Saturday (morning) after Easter to cover those items that Jane and Jo don’t have time to do. If you would like to help please let Ken know (date to be arranged.)
BEGINS SOON! TEA & LOVE FOR CARERS
A new church led group called TLC is starting on 3rd May, and then every Tuesday, from 2.30 to 3.30 pm in the MP. Some of us have cared for loved ones and know how demanding it is, and we feel called to support carers in our city. We are looking for others to back us in this - by prayer, by offering to come to chat, or make tea from time to time, or by giving us cakes/ scones/ treats occasionally. If you would be happy to help, please see Enid or Liz.

From Murray
This Sunday we begin Holy Week which can be a very special time for us as we prepare for the celebration of Easter next Sunday. As always, it is our preparation which makes the day special. So, amongst your other preparations, how might you make time to connect with the events of Holy Week?
There are special services three evenings this week as well as on Good Friday and the prayer stations are available at other times. Make use of these and see what God has for you this year. It will be as we participate in some way that our faith will grow and develop and so we might grasp more of what Jesus did for us on the cross.
