News for the Pews
|
News for the Pews in the future. In the past the weekly Service Sheet has normally been prepared on Thursday evening for its normal ‘press’ day on Friday. There are practical reasons why it needs to be produced earlier at various times of the year. To facilitate this in the future, with immediate effect, if you have notices to include here, please give details to Peter Titchmarsh no later than 6pm on Wednesday, preferably by email or in writing. These should be as concise as possible as sheet content some weeks can be ‘heavy’. Priority will be given to items relating to church matters – those relating to other activities can only be included if space permits. ~~~~~~~ News items from our Service Sheet for Sunday, 19th February 2012 Spire The March issue of Spire is published today and is available for distributors and for purchase at the back of Church. Men’s Group The Sporting Night out is on Wednesday, 29th February to see the England U21 team play Belgium at the Riverside Stadium.

Mothers’ Union Why not give an ethical gift this Mothering Sunday and change a life?
