VISION MORNING Saturday 16th July 10 am – come and be part of the future of St Paul’s. Let’s spend a couple of hours thinking together about our Vision Statement and what it means to us. Angie Lauener from Holy Trinity, Millhouses, will be with us. It would be good if you were there. We will have lunch together at the end. Signatures are needed for lunch numbers please (£3 for lunch) – clipboard at the back of church.
OLD VESTRY CARPET Does anyone have a Ewbank type carpet sweeper that they don’t use or better still, a vacuum cleaner that they no longer need please? We need something on hand for groups having cake or doing crafts in The Old Vestry that can be stored just outside in the passageway. Please see Murray, Cathy or one of the Church Wardens if you can help. Thanks
THANK YOU Margaret and Graham would like to say a big thank you to everyone who sent cards and best wishes for their Golden Wedding - they had a really lovely day. Please also keep Graham in your thoughts as he recovers from surgery to his hand.
THE BISHOP’S GARDEN PARTY More news!
The Mothers’ Union raised £880.32 in total, which was over £200 more than last year. Ecclesall Deanery M.U. raised over £160 from sales of toiletries, so thanks to all who donated goods & gave their time to help out. The entry fee, refreshments and hook-a-duck took a total of £1,300 to be shared between M.U. and The Archer Project. Bishop Steven has now given M.U. a further £650 which they are going to divide between AFIA (Away from it all) and a Prison Play Area project. A grand total of £1,530.32 for M.U. causes is a brilliant result!

From Murray
I am sorry to have to let you know that David Ndoda has died. We have not had much news from the Shelter of Hope in Zimbabwe for some time, as Sheila and Dave are not able to get over very often. We gather that earlier this year David was taken into hospital and was found to have cancer which had spread, and was by then inoperable, so he then went to a nursing home to be cared for in the last weeks of his life. David was 86 and people have been amazed that he has been able to carry on working at the Shelter for so long.
I am keeping in touch with Sheila and Dave and with Philip to see how the manager, Meli, manages without David who was so much part of the life and work of the Shelter.
On a lighter note I was delighted to take part in Jana Sandford’s review meeting as she comes to the end of her Worship 4 Today course. It was great to hear Jana speak with such passion and enthusiasm about what she has been learning and the initiatives she has been part of at St Paul’s. We have a lot to learn from Jana about how creativity can be an important part of our prayer and worship, and I look forward to her further input in prayer days, Messy Church mornings and much more.
