John’s Funeral – Will take place this Monday in church followed by a committal in Carleton and refreshments at the Conservative Club in Fleetwood. For those of you only attending the church service, Moira and David will be providing a cuppa in the Jubilee Room for those who wish to be together for a bit longer.

100 Club Winners – Congratulations to Freda Wayman, Dorothy Greene, Judith Crosby, Carol Pilling, Muriel freestone, Margery Bond, Beryl Clarkson, Daniel Ashworth, Julie Lyon, Clare Naylor, Olga Dunn, Elsie Mathias and Laura Martin. Thank you for supporting the church finances in this way.

Contactless giving – Since introducing this facility in Church we have take £14,839 in electronic payments. Unfortunately, the equipment we have relies on 3G which is not longer working in this area. We are trying to address a solution, but in the meantime for those of us who wish to give in this way, please consider making your gift online by going to our website. https://www.achurchnearyou.com/church/11671/

God, from whom all good things come, you shower us with blessings and you make us stewards of your world; give us generous hearts, make us cheerful givers, filled with desire to see the dawning of

the Kingdom of your Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen

Please remember in your prayers: Tony Ryan, Louise Clark, Rev Martin Keighley, Mark Price, Craig Abson, Peter Holden, Alan Morris & Rev Jane Everett.

Please also remember the families and friends of, John Richardson, Georgiana Johnstone, and Ronald Shewan whose funerals are due to take place.
