Ana
It is with the greatest sadness that we have to let you know that Ana passed away on Thursday morning, with Kevin and her family by her side.
We cannot put into words how we, her Church Wardens, are feeling and how distressed we are at having to pass on this sad news.
Kevin and her family ask you to respect their privacy at this time. Please continue to leave cards etc in the box in the Mission Church.
Please pray for Kevin and her family, praying especially that they feel the presence and love of our Lord.
Funeral arrangements will be made known when they have been finalised.
Prayer vigil
There will be a prayer vigil for Kevin and the family on Tuesday 1st September, 7-8pm at Street Parish Church

Benefice Service
Tomorrow, Sunday 30th August, all our congregations will come together in worship at 10.30am in Holy Trinity, Walton for a communion service. If you need transport to Walton or have any other questions, please contact your church warden.
Praying within our Benefice:
Within our Church community we have a responsibility to pray for ourselves and others particularly when challenges are being faced – a medical appointment or procedure, a life event, etc. Sometimes we want others to pray with us and for us.
In addition to the prayer groups that meet regular prayer is available through our weekly Lifeline under the “For Your Prayers” section – prayer requests for this section can be made via the Church Wardens or direct to the Church Administrator. Only a name and the general issue will be published.
Another route for prayer is via the Prayer Support Group – the Group prays more specifically, in detail and in confidence for the needs of another that are brought to us by the individual or a close associate. Prayer requests for the Prayer Support Group can be made to me, Jeff Brewer – jeffbrewer@hotmail.co.uk (07970 881779).

Our monthly bereavement cafe is meeting next Sunday, 6th Sept. from 3 - 4pm in the Mission Church. This is open to all on the journey of grief.

It would be a great help to me if someone could write the Lifeline notices each week. I can give access to the church diary so you will know what needs to be mentioned. Folk can continue to email me with specific notices; deadline midday Thursday. Thanks Sonia.

Starting at the end of September, we will be running a new Alpha course on Tuesday evenings. An opportunity to explore the Christian faith and ask questions in a safe and pressure free environment. The evenings begin with a light meal. If you or someone you know would like to come along, please contact the church office.

Baptisms
A number of adults and young people are exploring getting baptised. If you would be interested in joining them, please have a word with David Hatrey.

The parking situation has more or less been resolved so we have decided not to re-issue the pink parking permits. This may change if our carpark is misused again in the future.
