Because of the people leaving for pastures new we are very few in number and cannot cope. If you would even be willing to work for two weeks only once about every 4 months this would help. Training will be given. The work is interesting and essential to the running of our services. Call Judy. ~ Intersessions of Prayer: The intersession sheet will be left in the foyer each week. If you are doing the prayers please check for new prayer requests. From time to time we are asked to pray for people who are sick or troubled and also to remember those who have died. These prayers are mentioned in The Prayers of the People. We need to know who these people are but it is important that they know prayers are being offered on their behalf, so please contact them before adding their names to the list. The names will be left on the list for two weeks and then removed unless we are instructed otherwise. Thank you for thinking of those who need our prayers. ~ Communication Initiative - This month’s parish discussions along with parish council deliberations have identified communication as a key initiative for the parish.
