Collect for the day Let your merciful ears, O Lord, be open to the prayers of your humble servants; and that they may obtain their petitions, make them to ask such things as shall please you; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

NOTICES
Church Roof update: now that the scaffolding is in place at the east and west end of the church, further inspection has revealed serious faults in the stonework. A structural engineer has been appointed to carry out a survey and make recommendations. This will result in extra work, but there is a contingency in the budget for such eventualities. As soon as we have an indication of the increased cost we will update you. We are still short of our funding target; if anyone is able to assist with a pledge or loan to help us over the line, pleases speak to the churchwardens.
Photographic record of the repairs: we would like to document the progress of repairs to the roof, to keep our donors and sponsors informed. If you have some spare time on weekdays (ie while the work is taking place), and a good quality camera, please contact Mike Wake for more information: 264254, mikewake@talktalk.net.
Thank you to all who attended the Friends’ event at The Spur last week. £152.50 was raised for the Roof Fund.
