Week Commencing
8th March 2010

A Very Warm "Welcome" to St Thomas' (please scroll down to read all the notices)

LENT
This year there won’t be groups but a Lent Teach-In on “All Working Together”, which will take place on Monday afternoons (1.30pm) and which will be repeated on Tuesday evenings (7.30pm).
PRAYER EVENINGS
The next dates for your diary are: April 15th, May 6th, June 10th, July 1st. These meetings last from 7.30pm to 8.30pm, and are held at the Vicarage, but if you can’t make it to there, please pray as you can wherever you are.
BISHOP’S LENT APPEAL
Bishop Stephen has launched a Lent Appeal for the Issenye Secondary School in Mara. This school does a magnificent job in Mara and is in need of our practical support. It has been visited many times by people from our own Diocese, and will be again shortly. As we had some Mara visitors here in church a few months ago, it seems the right time to make this appeal known to you. Perhaps some of you would like to take up the suggestion I made in the current Newsletter of supporting a cause during Lent. Maybe this is the one? Anyone who wishes can save during Lent, and hand in at Easter
JOINT SERVICE WITH THE METHODISTS
Sunday, April 11th at 6.30pm
ANNUAL PAROCHIAL CHURCH MEETING
This is the church’s AGM, and this year’s is planned for April 11th, following the Sunday morning service. This is your church, remember, and this is your meeting. But there’s more to it: if you count yourself a member, you have both privileges and responsibilities. Why not make a special point of attending this year? See notices by the kitchen area. And if you wish to be on the electoral roll, now’s the time to fill in a form if you haven’t done so before.
CHURCH PORCH NOTICE BOARD
Remember to look, there may be one or two things of interested displayed there.
CONFIRMATION SERVICE
There will be a Confirmation Service in this church on Sunday, May 2nd, 2010 at 10am, led by Bishop Tony
MOTHERS UNION ETHICAL GIFTS
At the back of church is a catalogue explaining how you can make a mothers’ day gift via MU for projects that the MU sponsors in various parts of the world. MU will send you a card for the gift you give, and these cards can be inscribed in memory of someone. Deadline orders: Thurs, March 11th.
St AUGUSTINE'S CENTRE HALIFAX
For those in our community very much in need, there is a Food Drop In at Ebenezer Methodist Church in Halifax. There is a large plastic box Underneath the table at the back of church to collect items. Certained items are prioritised from time to time, so have a look at the list (table at back of church). Help is required from anyone to occasionally take the box to Ebenezer on Saturday mornings,10am. Sometimes there are items other than food to consider donating (e.g. can openers; and scarves, hats, gloves as winter is upon us).
