By Justin Dyche in Sunday Service on 19 May 2024
Hello everyone,
I hope you have all enjoyed the good weather this week. God has certainly been good to Miriam and me who chose this week to be away in the Peak District. Here are the essential details of what is happening over the next couple of weeks
But first can I say to PCC members that you should have received the minutes of last week’s meeting by email from Justin on Tuesday. If you didn’t please check your Spam folder and if you have still not received them contact Justin (or me) for a replacement set.
Sunday 12th May
There is a service of MORNING WORSHIP at St Columba’s on Sunday at 10.30am with a sermon from Riaan. Unfortunately we have had some problems with the livestream over recent weeks and so this won’t be available.
In the afternoon there is a FAMILY SERVICE in St Leonard’s, Rockingham at 3pm.
And at 6pm the PRAYER MEETING will be happening in St Columba’s – several regular attenders are away so do try and go along if you can.
Deanery Event with the Bishop
On Monday 13th May there is a special event at Rockingham Castle with Bishop Debbie and a team from the diocese who are walking round the diocese between Ascension Day and Pentecost and sharing stories of faith. They will be walking from Oakham to Rockingham on the 13th May and there will be a special celebration evening at Rockingham Castle, with the doors opening at 7pm for light refreshments of tea/coffee and cake. Numbers are limited but if you would like to attend please let me know.
Murder Mystery Evening
On Saturday 18th May we are opening our doors for murder, acted out by the Great Easton Little Theatre Company, but they need our help to solve the crime, so do come along and work out whodunnit! Tickets cost £5 and are available in church tomorrow and include a Fish & Chip supper – a great value night out which starts at 7.30pm.
Sunday 19th May
We have a service of HOLY COMMUNION at St Columba’s at 10.30am
Night of Prayer
On Friday 24th May we will be holding a half night of prayer from 6pm to midnight. It is not expected that people will stay for the whole six hours but come in and out during the evening. Listen out for more details but do put the date in your diary now.
Spring Harvest 2025
We booked some accommodation for next year’s SPRING HARVEST at Skegness from 7th to 11th April while we were at this year’s event. If you would like to go next year and have not told Miriam, or need more information before making a decision, please reply to this email and Miriam will get in touch.
SCaNS
There will be a new printed edition of SCaNS available in church on Sunday. If you enjoy this please let Steve know as it has been a labour of love overcoming technical issues while producing this.
With best wishes to you all for this coming week
