*******************************
We are delighted to welcome Rev’d Fiona Haines back to St Nic’s this morning. Fiona is a Prison Chaplain and will preach at preside at the 10.45 service. Grateful thanks to both Fiona and Phil for their ministry among us.
Sign up: at the back of church today if you are hoping to attend Lawrence & Olga’s Diamond Wedding celebrations in the Broadway Rooms straight after church on Sunday 28th April. Everyone is welcome.
Annual Parish Church Meeting: In case you missed this last week. The APCM Will take place on Tuesday 14th May 2024 in church at 7 pm. This is an opportunity to come together as the church family to celebrate the past year and to plan for the future. Amendments to the electoral roll can be made between now and then. If you live in the parish, and/or you have habitually attended worship at St Nic’s during the preceding six months, you are eligible to register. Please see Sandra who will sort this out for you. Being on the roll enables you to take part in any voting which may take place at the meeting. There are some places available on the Parochial Church Council this year and if you are keen to be part of the leadership team of St Nic’s and have been on the electoral roll for at least 6 months and would like to know more about the role of a PCC member then please see the Vicar.
God our Creator and Redeemer, help St Nic’s to grow in holiness, unity and effectiveness.
Draw us closer to you and to those around us. Give us enthusiasm in our faith
and wisdom in sharing it with those who we encounter. Open our eyes to new opportunities,
our lips to sing and speak of you, and our hearts to welcome the stranger.
Grow your kingdom in us and in the world
through the intercession of our Lord Jesus Christ and in the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
