From Murray
We are beginning to
work through the questionnaires people filled in at Family Worship and I have
seen some very encouraging scores! It is
good to know that what we do at St Paul’s is appreciated. But we can always improve so it will be
interesting when Pam has collated the results to see the areas you think we
could work harder on. Strategy Group
will do some work on results before we report to the next PCC meeting.

FROM
DOROTHY: I would like to say to my church family and friends ‘Thank you
all for the lovely cards and good wishes, and for making my birthday so very
special.’ Dorothy was delighted to
receive over 50 cards and was very moved by the warmth and love expressed.

Talbot dogs. Free admission, children must be accompanied at all times. For
more information, email Janet Ridler on janet.ridler@sheffield-cathedral.org.uk.
FOODBANK UPDATE Robert had a busier week last week processing 17 vouchers (St
Paul’s contributed
15
kg). There were a number of sad stories including a young woman who had a
terminal lung disease and another client who faced the choice of paying for
heating or for food because of debt problems. A young couple came who
were really desperate after a fire in their house.
Mike’s Ministry this week:
Sun 22nd – St Paul’s H.C.- 10.00 am
From Murray
This week I am going down
to Sevenoaks to finalise a few things following my Aunt’s death last summer.
While I am there I will stay a couple of nights with Trevor who I met years ago
at university and who became vicar of Christ Church Bexleyheath last
spring. He had been a senior executive in BT so I will be interested to
know how he has coped with the change! Trevor had trained as a
non-stipendiary priest about ten years back so has had quite a bit of
preparation for his new ministry. Even though it is a holiday I could not
resist Trevor’s invitation to preach at their midweek Communion service on
Wednesday! On Thursday I return after meeting an old friend for lunch
near St Paul’s Cathedral in the city of Londo
