Notices – week beginning 1/06/08

Confirmation. Bethany and Nick Carter are today being confirmed at St. Michael’s, Marfleet Lane by the Bp of Hull. Time: 6.30 p.m. If you can, do come and support them.

Sat 7th June Wildlife Walk around Spurn Point. Moderate length and flat. Bring packed lunch. Meet at St Columba’s at 9am

St John’s story. Antoine has brought sound equipment to Church today so he can begin to record the St John’s story. We’re looking for say a couple of people to make a start with this today – an opportunity for you to tell what St John’s means to you.

Cleaning the Church. A reminder that the next date for Church cleaning is Saturday 7th June (9.30 a.m.-12).

Antoine is playing at the Reindeer again – on Sunday 8th June (8.30-11). Let’s see if we can support him for at least some of the evening. It was great last time.

Growth Group. Those of us who go to this would be really encouraged if others made this a priority in their week. Everyone is under pressure, and of course it’s an effort, but it’s definitely an effort worth making, as well as being an opportunity to get to know each other better, and grow spiritually (c.f. Hebrews 10:25). If anyone needs a lift, let me know. Next meeting: Wednesday @ 7.30. Venue: Jo & Antoine’s – 140 Summergangs.

Nomsa. As you know, Nomsa has been separated from her family for more than 5 years now, and is feeling their pain very much in the increasingly desperate situation in Zimbabwe. I have been concerned that as a Church, there must be something we can do, and we can. As well as putting money in ‘Nomsa appeal’ envelopes (see notice last week), members of DCC have taken the decision that Nomsa also should have the MaMaD Lent collections which anyway were going to alleviate poverty in Zimbabwe, and this year amounted to £411.75.

Next Sunday. Holy Communion (9.30), Breakfast Club+ (10.30).
