Thank You for the example of Jesus, who willingly walked the path of sacrifice for our

hesitation.
May our lives reflect the love, humility, and obedience of Christ, until the day we see You face
to face. Amen

Help required:
Paul and Sandra would like a bit of help with cleaning the church on Monday mornings 9.00 to 10.30.
After the work in the chancel there is some very fine dust around the woodwork and it needs a fine
brush and some patience - lovely as the carvings are they do attract the dust.
Nothing heavy; you can even sit down if necessary. Ring (01983) 638198 if can spare some time.
Information about what is happening in the diocese can be found in the weekly
bulletin at www.portsmouth.anglican.org/ebulletin/
