Prayer
pointers
Congratulations
to Sally Anscombe, daughter of Alan and Carol Thompson, on the arrival of baby
James on Friday, weighing 1lb 13 1/2 oz.
Please pray for them both with James being 14 weeks early.
If
you give cash in the offering, please consider using one of the blue envelopes at
the back of church for one-off gifts. It
simply means that we can probably increase your offering by 28% through Gift
Aid. Please write your name –
otherwise we cannot claim a tax refund. If you use these regularly, it
would probably be easier to belong to the envelope scheme. Contact Jen Ray.
If
you are considering supporting Christ Church through planned financial giving,
you can contact Stuart Jackson (571085) or Kath McMinn (573136) in strict
confidence.
World
Mission Evensong
at the Cathedral this afternoon at 3.00 p.m. is to celebrate the visit of
international bishops attending the Lambeth conference.
This
is the pre-Lambeth Evensong which will
be attended by visiting Bishops. It
would be good to support Bishop James for this occasion, which I’m sure will be
of interest to many.
DVD
Ministry
Our
10.45 services are recorded and made available on DVD’s for the use of church
members, especially those who are ill or infirm. You can also view these on our church
website – www.ChristChurchAughton.org and follow the link.
See
the sound desk if you would want a DVD for your personal use. We also can provide special envelopes for
mailing.
Apprentice
programme
The
PCC has decided to employ an apprentice for one year, under the auspices of the
9.38 - a national evangelical
interdenominational body. This allows a
young person to experience ministry from the inside and so decide whether to
train for a lifetime in paid gospel ministry.
This will be funded by a special gift and grants; it will not be paid for by the PCC. We are hoping to have someone in place for
September.
The
NSPCC Big Bike Ride takes place this Tuesday, 15 July, 7.00 – 8.30 p.m
in the Old School Building yard.
