BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE – Any names to be entered in this Book should be given to Ann McDonald (01748 823223) along with the date of death and a donation of £5 As part of the relaunch of the Pastoral Team and the setting up of the Prayer Circle we looked at the list of names of people to be prayed for in the pew sheet. In order to avoid people being on the list when the particular need is no longer there, it was felt that the person's name should be included initially for six weeks. Obviously some people may want to be on for much longer and this is not a problem. Everyone who is on the list now will remain for the next five weeks. Please let Liz Chambers know after this time if you would like the name leaving on the list and when you would like this reviewing.

The Hope and Remembrance Service is to be held in St. Mary's at 6.30pm on Sunday 30th October. In this service all those who have died during this year are remembered by name. Please add the names of loved ones you would also like to be remembered to the list on the table at the back of church.
