TEN DAYS OF PRAYER
Bishop Steven’s Ten Days of
Prayer begin at the end of this month on Ascension Day which is Thursday 29th
May. The PCC suggest that this year
church groups take the initiative in prayer. So, any group meeting during the
10 days, either in church or at home, should take time to join in the prayers
in some way. Murray will put a signup
sheet at the back of church for groups to indicate that they are taking
part. All you need do is say that you
will take a bit of time to join in the prayer as part of your meeting, say
where you will be meeting and if your meeting will be open to others to join
you or not (that is very much up to you – you know the nature of your
group!). We have plenty of 10 Days of
Prayer leaflets which have suggested bible readings and prayer topics for each
day. Let’s see a diversity of ways of
praying at St Paul’s and around the parish!
From Murray
Thanks
to those who supported our Scout Group Centenary weekend. The weather was glorious and we had lots of
old members come to the Scout Hall on Saturday and I need not have worried that
there would not be enough at the service on Sunday! We had a great crowd and the service was much
appreciated. The weekend went extremely
well and it was great to be able to show off out wonderful church building to
Bishop Peter and his wife and to visiting Scouting people who had not seen it
before.
CHRISTIAN AID
Many thanks to all those who helped in any way
during Christian Aid Week, the total so far for the street collection is
£890.39, Quiz Aid £61.50, Seekers cake bake £24.31. Helen and Peter
NORTON LEES LANE RESURFACING UPDATE It looks like
the road may be closed during the evenings (7 am to 7 pm) during the weeks of 2nd
and 9th June, though the schedule may slip so any time in June could
be tricky for evening meetings!
THANK YOU to everyone
who grew plants and supplied cakes for our Plant sale/Coffee morning and all those people who came to support
us. We raised £335 on the day towards
our window repairs and there are still lots more tomato plants left in church
if you missed the sale!
TEDDY BEARS PICNIC Please save the date in your
diary!

DIOCESAN CENTENARY Please see Murray if you can help at our local event on Sunday 22nd
June from 2.00 pm to 5.00 pm at Beauchief Abbey. We had the first evening of stewards training
which was very well received, and very interesting. But we are still in
need of stewards for our events at Beauchief Abbey, Sheffield We are holding a
second training evening on 28 May at Church House, Rotherham 7 pm.
The role of the stewards will be very important at the events. They will
be welcoming people, manning stalls, answering enquiries etc – they will be the
people who are meeting and greeting everyone.
Unfortunately only people who have attended the training will be able to
act as stewards at the events.
W.I. OUTING On
Wednesday 6th August, Norton Lees (St Paul’s) Women’s Institute is

trip and lunch but not afternoon tea –
