Bye Abi and best wishes.



Last Sunday at the 9.30am service there were lots of gifts and good wishes for Abi, our Director of Music, Organist and Choir Leader who has left to have a baby in September.  We held a small tea party for people to say farewell and thank you to her that afternoon too.

In September, we will be welcoming Chris Ebbern to take on this role. Chris is already known to our congregation as he has covered for Abi on several occasions.

We also had a visiting speaker, James Archer of the Church Army at the morning service. He told us of the work of one of the Street Pastors and how he has helped those who wander and sleep on the streets and have no-one who cares about them. We all have a role to fill as Jesus' representatives in our world, caring for one another no matter how small our contribution.

School finishes for the summer this Friday for schools in Nottinghamshire, and Leicestershire schools have already finished.

This Sunday is our Encounters service at 9.30am for all ages.  For those who prefer a more traditional Holy Communion Service there is one at 11.00am.
