Do you enjoy cutting grass?
I receive numerous comments throughout the year about how beautiful the churchyard looks. We rely on a small but dwindling number of people to help cut and strim the grass.

I look forward to hearing from you. James

Prayer for the week
God of majesty, yours is the power that raised Christ from death, yours the glory that exalted him to your right hand. By the mystery of the Ascension, sustain our hope as we bear witness to our baptism. By the perpetual outpouring of your Spirit, confirm your Church in its mission of salvation. Grant this through Jesus Christ, the first-born from the dead, who lives and reigns with you in the unit of the Holy Spirit, God for ever and ever.
Your prayers are asked this week for:
Those killed or left seriously ill as a result of the E coli outbreak
Those being baptised and confirmed this month
The makers of furniture, for good hard wearing solid household furniture which become in time old friends
Those living away from home, weekly commuters
