A VERY WARM WELCOME to
the family and friends of Emily Ann Langner who is being baptised at St Paul’s
today.
Easter Eggs for the Roundabout Hostel
for homeless young people. Thanks for all the Easter Eggs for
Roundabout! We are getting medium sized eggs,
to ensure that they all get the same sized eggs! There’s a box in the clergy vestry which is
filling up nicely. Thank you.
From Foodbank Thank
you for your support to our foodbank at Gleadless Valley. Where would we be
without you all?
We have an abundance of most food stuff but a serious shortage of the following items:
We have an abundance of most food stuff but a serious shortage of the following items:
Pasta Sauces, Tinned fruit, Noodles,
Sugar,
Juice (squash), Red and Brown
sauces and things
that might be classed as "treats".
From
Murray Have you asked
for people to be included on the Prayer Focus over the page? There will be people we will want to be
reminded to continue praying for (and if I have removed someone like this
please let me know) but there are quite a few names I don’t know and I don’t
know how to pray for them. Could you have
a think about whether we still need names on the list and if they can come off
let Cathy or me know please. Thank you.
THANK YOU! The cake and craft
stall on Mothering Sunday raised a whopping £160 for our windows appeal! Thank you everyone for your generosity and to
Liz, Dorothy and Brenda for making cards, and for the hours spent knitting all
those chicks to fill with chocolate eggs.
Many thanks also to the people who baked or brought cakes and buns to
sell.
Joy
Ryalls has also very kindly donated a lovely drawing she’s done, to help us
raise further funds for the windows. If it has caught your eye, we will be
holding a raffle shortly with tickets at £1.00 per strip of five. If church
members would like to show it to other groups they take part in, it would be
much appreciated. Thank you

CUPBOARDS IN CHURCH Owing to pressure for cupboard space all

too? Thank you
CRAFT CUPBOARD Thank you to
Jacqui, Barbara, Liz & Mike who tidied the UH Craft Cupboard & enjoyed
a bottle of wine & nibbles last Thursday.
CHILDREN’S
TROLLEY Who
can offer to take responsibility for keeping the children’s trolley which is
used each Sunday tidy and well equipped please? It is in a terrible state at
the moment and is hardly welcoming for families. Once it has been sorted
it should only take a few minutes each Sunday to keep it tidy. New items
can easily be acquired so we are not expecting whoever volunteers to provide
things. Please let Ann know if you can do this.

THANKS FROM
MARGARET WARDILL’S FAMILY We wanted to tell
you how much we appreciated Mom's funeral on Thursday. It was just as she
would have wanted it, and hit exactly the right note for us, and for our
family. We all felt that we were able to grieve and celebrate Granny in a
way that felt right and appropriate. We also warmly appreciated the support
from within the parish, feeling that all those who knew her were standing
shoulder to shoulder with us, a real and moving tribute to her personal
qualities.

From Murray How are you getting on using The Lord’s
Prayer more regularly this Lent? I have
stuck my bookmark on the wall where I pray and am finding using it very
helpful. The word that I connect with
most is the first one (strangely!) ‘Our’.
As we pray we are not on our own, we are sharing with a great network of
Christian people all over this country and all around the world. More than that we are joining with God in the
act of prayer as his Holy Spirit breathes in us and prays through us.
