Dear Sisters and Brothers,
Welcome to our weekly pew sheet and updates blog! I hope you are all having a restful summer season and if you are looking after school-age children, I pray your time together is blessed and joyful.
Due to photocopier issues, there is no printed pew sheet this week - so please pass this on to others if you can. Thanks! Sunday Morning:
Our readings for The 10th Sunday after Trinity are: 1 Kings 19.9–18
Psalm 85.8–13 Romans 10.5–15 Matthew 14.22–33 Collect Prayer: Let your merciful ears, O Lord,
be open to the prayers of your humble servants;
and that they may obtain their petitions
make them to ask such things as shall please you;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Post Communion Prayer: God of our pilgrimage,
you have willed that the gate of mercy
should stand open for those who trust in you:
look upon us with your favour
that we who follow the path of your will
may never wander from the way of life;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Parish Quiet Day
“A lantern to my feet and a light upon my path”
Saturday September 16th, 10am-4pm, All Saints’ Church
Psalms are some of the earliest poetry- the bedrock of the public and community prayers of the Jewish people- both of praise and thanksgiving, of lament and grief and anguish.
They have been used by Christians from the earliest times, and particularly by monastic communities, for centuries, and are still used in the daily worship of the Anglican Church. But they have also been used by individuals to express very private and often painful experiences of life and death; of God’s presence and his felt absence, and the whole journey through life.
The Quiet Day will be an opportunity to explore just a few of the psalms and how we may find in them a rich resource of both challenge and comfort for that journey.
Please let Chris Thomas know if you would like to attend 01277 210862
Spiritual guide or Companionship
Many people value the companionship and encouragement of another person as they walk the spiritual way and find a listening ear helpful.
Spiritual guides have been trained to do just that and to help you listen and discern how God is working in your life.
If this is something you might be interested in please pick up one of the leaflets at the back of the church which will give you some information or speak to me in private if you are unsure.
Chris Thomas LLM.
Mothers’ Union

Margaret Morris.
