From Fr. Bernard
Hello All, I’m not going to talk about the weather! One minute freezing, the next really hot. It’s got no more idea what’s doing than I have so, like me, it’s best ignored! Instead, a reminder that there is a working party up at St Mary's today (Saturday). Please come along if you can help mow the churchyard or clean the church: free tea and coffee! On Sunday we will have our usual services, with a said Eucharist at 8 am, and Sung Eucharist at 10 am, and Evensong at 6 pm. There will be NO Morning or Evening Prayer on Tuesday because I will be in Sussex. But other services this week will be as usual, with said Eucharists on Wednesday at 9:30 am and Thursday at 10 am. Also this week, the PCC meets at 7:30 pm on Thursday in the Lady Chapel. This week is also Christian Aid week. There are Christian Aid envelopes in a box at the back of Church. Please take one for your own donation, and please take one or two to give to friends and neighbours also. We have 200, so there should be enough to go round! You are welcome to bring them back to the Church on either the 18th or 25th of May. On Sunday the 18th of May, there will be a farewell service for our Diocesan Bishop Alan, at 3 pm in St Albans Abbey. All are invited; do please go if you can. There will be a Thanksgiving Service for Frank Reedy, who worshipped at the Church of Good Shepherd, one of our sister churches, but lived in Linslade, in St Barnabas on Monday the 19th of May at 2:30 pm, and all are welcome to attend. On Friday of the same week, the funeral of Roland Bartels will be here at 11 am. On the 21st, Fr Stephen Burge, an ordained priest some of you will know, who lives in Linslade, will be licensed to our parish at the beginning of a Team Council meeting. Fr Stephen works in London as a lecturer and researcher, and also has other duties as a Chaplain at weekends, so we may not see much of him, but it will be very good to welcome him to the parish and to our Team, and he will be preaching on the 8th of June when we celebrate the Feast of Pentecost. Looking further ahead, but still needing our attention, is the Summer Fair on the 14th of June. We will need lots of help both setting up on Friday afternoon (13th) and helping on the day itself. There is a list at the back of church, please sign up and tick the relevant boxes. Also speak to Ann Tracey if you get the chance. We need items for the stalls: Good condition bric-a-brac, toys, books, etc., and Raffle and Tombola prizes. Please bring items in and leave them under the tables at the back of church. Cakes, jams/chutneys and plants can be brought in on Friday 13th from 3.30 pm - 5.30 pm or on the morning of the fair by 10 am. Raffle tickets are also now available at the back of church. Please take booklets to sell to others, and to buy yourselves. The more we sell, the more money we raise! Thank you and God bless, Fr Bernard The Rev'd Dr B Minton Team Vicar of Linslade Ouzel Valley Team |
