MIDWEEK SERVICES IN AUGUSTThere will be NO mid-week Communion services during August. There will be Morning Prayer at 8.00am on a Wednesdays. S6 FOODBANK Thanks to your generosity food is taken to S6 Food Bank each week. Unfortunately there are some weeks when I am not available to make the delivery. If you are able to step in on such occasions please let me know. Thank you, Jennifer Hurrell, tel: 07442174338. GENERAL SYNOD A new 5 year term of office starts later this year. Our Diocese has 3 Lay Representatives. In the vote for Women Bishops, 2 of our 3 reps voted against this legislation. In the next 5 years the issue of human sexuality is likely to be discussed. The General Synod is the Church of England’s parliament and it is vital that the moderate, majority view is well represented (the extreme edges are much better at getting motivated not only to stand but also to vote for their candidates). Can you think of someone who would be good for this role? If so, speak to Anne Padget, 07736 527777. CHRISTIAN AID WEEK COLLECTIONS in St. Mark’s parish this year amounted to £1587.77, which, after Gift Aid, makes the collection worth £1811.52 to Christian Aid.

Heartfelt apologies to anyone I may have missed. Helen H CONGRATULATIONS to John Bramley who recently celebrated his 80th birthday! Also to Linda Kirk and Richard Carwardine who have just celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary. We wish them all joy!
