Almighty Lord and everlasting God, we beseech you to direct, sanctify and govern both our hearts and bodies in the ways of your laws and the works of your commandments; that through your most mighty protection, both here and ever, we may be preserved in body and soul; through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

NOTICES
Summer Fair: Well done St Thomas a Becket’s on an excellent Summer Fair! It was a lovely atmosphere, great weather and thank you to everyone who supported the day, not least in setting up, overseeing stalls and tidying away. Results of the day are display on the noticeboard.
Thank you: June Baker would like to thank everyone for their prayers, cards, hospital and home visits following her recent accident and especially to Elizabeth Pope and Jill Millam who responded in the early hours! It’s a privilege to be part of such a caring Church family.
New housing: Taylor Wimpey will be hosting an exhibition of their proposal for homes off Sefter Road on Wednesday between 2pm and 7.30pm at The Royal British Legion club on Hewarts Lane. All are welcome.
Painting: Fresh from our triumph with decorating St Andrews Chapel, we are now planning on painting the Church Centre starting at 9.00am on Saturday 13th August. There is a sign-up sheet on the notice board in church. Please come equipped with brushes and rollers on the day.
Stewardship Sunday: In February you will remember that there was a Financial Presentation in church, where we asked all of you to prayerfully consider your level of financial support to the church. We said that we would report back to you once all had had time to take time to consider and if appropriate act. 6 months down the line we are able to report that there was a very positive response to the appeal. We do of course operate a variety of giving schemes – Parish giving Scheme, Free Will offering Envelopes, the collection plate etc. We are able to see that more than 30 people have taken positive steps to increase their giving, either in line with inflation via the Parish Giving Scheme, or by increasing the amount they give. Others have signed up either for the Parish Giving Scheme or the Free Will offering envelopes. There is a level of anonymity associated with all our giving, which makes giving thanks to individuals difficult. The PCC would therefore like to take this opportunity to thank all who responded to the appeal.
New members of Pastoral Care Team: If you might be interested in joining the team, we hope to have a further training course in the autumn. Speak to Mark, Jo or Trudi for more information.
100 Club as part of the Roof Appeal: This is one fundraising idea for the roof work. If anyone might be able to organise this do speak to Mark, Trudi or the Wardens.
