It provides a special opportunity to reflect, pray, and take action for the brave men and women who work at sea to ensure we have everything we need. Seafarers often face dangerous and lonely conditions, spending months away from their families. Let us ask God to protect all seafarers and fishers, who work hard on the perilous sea, to bring us so many of the goods that we rely on in our daily lives. We pray especially for those affected by conflicts around the world, particularly in the Red Sea, Ukraine and Israel and Palestine. A collection will be taken during this service, the proceeds of which will help with the ongoing work of Fleetwood Lifeboat and the Fishermen’s Mission. BIG WEEKEND – Please pray for St Peter’s and St David’s who are holding their mission weekend starting this Friday. Friday 7 pm Male Voice Choir at St P’s, Saturday 7 pm Sea Shanties at St D’s and Sunday 10-4 pm lots of fun and activities in the grounds of St P’s. These events are aimed at folk who don’t usually attend church and therefore, ideal for you to invite someone to. Pray that new people will come along, that they will feel welcome and hear the Gospel. Vicarage Garden Party: On Saturday 19th July, from 2 pm you are invited to join us for afternoon tea at the vicarage. It’s a time to be together and to celebrate God’s goodness. Please sign up at the back of church to give us an idea of numbers. If the weather lets us down, we will move indoors. Please also remember in your prayers: David Jackson, Martyn Westby, Brian Brown, Pauline Brookes, Louise Gorley, Michael Carthy, Paul Sumner, Sandra Pratt, Chris Kelsall, Carole Pilling, Tracey Ashworth, Philip Wayman, Joanne Mallin, Harvey, Maureen Baines and Chris Cousins. We also remember Jean Mountford and Catherine Williams whose funerals are due to take place.

We will welcome Pastor George Ayoma as our preacher and several dignitaries from Fleetwood and Wyre. Be with Seafarers, Lord, on all their voyages, to cheer them and keep them safe in all dangers. Let nothing afloat or on shore cut them off from you. May they please you in everything they do. Bless all on board their ship, whatever their responsibility. Enable everyone to do their duty. Help them to be good shipmates and bring them back again safely to their homes and to those who long for their return, through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Let’s do what we can to help build up God’s Kingdom here in Fleetwood and to support our brothers and sisters in Christ. From the Vicar: By the time you read this, I will have returned from holiday, having celebrated a significant birthday and now just days away from marking ten years since my ordination as a priest in Christ’s Church. I want to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt thanks for the many birthday cards, kind greetings, and generous gifts I received from so many of you. It would be impossible to thank each of you individually, but please know that I have read every word of every card, and I am deeply touched by your thoughtfulness. As I begin my seventh year as Vicar of St Nic’s, we stand on the threshold of two exciting developments: the appointment of a Youth Pastor, and the commencement of Stage III in the restoration of our beautiful church. Thank you, sincerely, for your ongoing love, support, and prayers.
