Communion
Hymn 298 Let
there be love shared among us
Prayer
after Communion
Strengthen for service,
Lord,
the hands that have taken
holy things;
may the ears which have
heard your word
be deaf to clamour and
dispute;
may the tongues which have
sung your praise
be free from deceit;
may the eyes which have seen
the tokens of your love
shine with the light of
hope;
and may the bodies which
have been fed with your body
be refreshed with the
fullness of your life;
glory to you for ever. Amen.

Waltham Forest Deanery
Mothers' Union will be holding a festival service and strawberry cream tea at
Peterhouse at 2.30 pm on August 3rd. Costs are £4.50 per adult and
£6.00 per adult and child/children. Proceeds will be sent to the MU Wheels
Appeal - a fund which supports MU workers across the world to travel to support
families, sometimes over long distances and through dangerous terrain. A very
warm welcome to everyone from St Peters and especially all newly enrolled MU
members. There will be a poster on the MU notice board and a list for you to
sign on the table at the back of church.
If you have
any photos of Parish/Church life, send them to Paul or Sarah via email and they
will be posted on the parish blog site.
New rotas (September – December)
will be available soon. If you would
like to be added on to any of the rotas – welcoming, serving, reading, coffee,
cleaning, flower arranging or Rocks leaders, please let Sarah know by the
beginning of August. If you know you’re
not going to be around for specific dates, please let Sarah know.
If you are not sure if you’d like to
be added on to the rotas on a regular basis but would perhaps like to try
something – even if it’s just once – please speak to Sarah or have a chat with
someone who is on the rota. We are most
urgently in need of Servers so please give that some thought.
And remember, as with everything,
the more people on one particular rota, the less often you’ll be called
on! For example, if you’re on the
readers rota, you’ll probably be down to read once every 10 – 12 weeks. At the moment, the servers are down to serve
every other week……
At the back
of church is a letter from Fr Paul, on behalf of the Buildings Committee. It concerns our church building and where we
go from here. Please take a copy with you,
read it, think and pray about it and make your choice from the four options
given. There will be a box in church
into which you are asked to put your reply, no later than the 25th
August.
Open
Church – Sunday
afternoons from 2.00 – 5.00 pm. There will
be tea/coffee and cakes available.
Please do come! We need
volunteers to staff the church and/or make a cake - please speak to Bernard, Judith, Frances or Sue.
Faith is an
investment that never loses interest
